I should have been clearer. Back to what I was asking, I meant is it original or something else (if you don't know, how much did you pay for the part) and was it only the valve cover changed at the time?

radautoworks:
where are you getting the part you are using?

radautoworks:
I'll step back since you are getting conflicting advice and I don't want you confused.

.

The major challenge in naija is getting the right quality parts,

GAZZUZZ:
Has nothing to do with the parts you are using (fake or original it's just rubber)

The original will get brittle and settle much slower than the fake/substandard .

The issue you having is procedure used in installing part. The preparation of mating surfaces etc.

Change mechanics.

Zane2point4:
Pls have you resoleved this issue? Mine is 3rd time now.

KINGreignn:
Get genuine valve cover gasket and also Abro gasket gum. The abro gasket gum is in a brown plastic container. Use it and it will seal completely (that's assuming your top or cover isn't warped).

KINGreignn:
Hope your engine top or valve cover isn't warped though.
Where is your location?

KINGreignn:
Frequency of change Vs leaks pls?

HeavenlyBang:
Closest place I can recommend is OPUSDEI1 at Nnewi.

radautoworks:
Probably needs decarbonization. Scan and post results

Asides electromechanical related issues one or more of the following must have changed; drive habits/pattern(0-100 in less than 10sec and 100 to 0 in less than 5sec ), vehicle load (do u carry more passengers/load than usual), traffic situation(do u get stuck in traffic than usual).
Do a self audit before fiddling with machine parts and sensors.

dicksonadams:
Any check engine

Mobil Enugu has 5w30. I've bought from there. Go to Mobil at the enugu-ph and abakaliki junction. Close to nnpc mega station. You will find 5w30 there. It's the next best thing after 5w20. Or go to any total filling station and buy their 5w30 grade oil. You should be fine. If you can order the 5w20 from the numerous oil sellers here, then that will be a better solution. Steer clear of that 20w50 oil aka xhp
