Dear Sir,

The technician told me that my car has oil leak and need to replace the Valve Cover Gaskets. The last time I changed engine oil was 4200 miles ago, and 5 quarters oil are almost used up now. Is it really a problem? Do I have to replace it?

The cost is $340 totally. Is it reasonable?

Thank you so much for your answer!

Sincerely,
Zixin Wu

Hi Zixin Wu,

Do you have to ad oil to the vehicle frequently?

Is there a big wet oil puddle under the car?

If yes to the questions above I would recommend having them changed.

Yes it is a reasonable price.
