Engineered reliability for 1.4L-1.5L turbo engines

When you replace a valve cover gasket, you’re choosing a seal that travels with the car through daily commutes, weekend errands, and road trips. The AUCERAMIC 12636177 gasket set is designed to meet the demands of modern engines in a straightforward, no-nonsense way. It aligns with original equipment standards and is built to withstand the heat and pressure typical of turbocharged and naturally aspirated 1.4L-1.5L engines found in the listed models.

The OE-standard gaskets are subjected to on-vehicle validation, ensuring the seal performs on the road as intended by the factory design. This means you can count on a fit that mirrors the original parts and a sealing surface that supports clean engine operation over time. For drivers who value a simple, direct replacement without surprises, this kit offers a clear path from old to new with confidence.

What you get and how it fits

The package includes two valve cover gaskets, an inner and an outer gasket, so you can perform a complete replacement in one session. The gaskets are crafted to form a tight seal against oil leaks while tolerating the thermal expansion and contraction that happen during cold starts and long drives.

• OE-standard design tailored for 1.4L and 1.5L engines across the model range
• On-vehicle testing validates sealing performance under real driving conditions

Compatibility at a glance helps you decide quickly. The part numbers 12636177 and 12636384 cover several 2016–2022 GM vehicles, including the Malibu, Cruze, Equinox, Trax, Volt, Terrain, and Buick Encore in its different trims. This broad fitment is a practical option for shops and DIY enthusiasts who own multiple models or are stocking for a repair bay.

• Broad compatibility spans multiple years and trims
• Two-piece gasket kit for a thorough valve cover replacement

Quality and support go hand in hand. Each purchase includes access to responsive customer service, with guidance and problem resolution in under 24 hours. While this gasket is designed to perform reliably, customers are encouraged to inspect the installation and monitor engine areas after service to maintain optimal results.

Whether you are restoring a beloved daily driver or preparing a vehicle for the road ahead, the AUCERAMIC gasket kit offers a practical, no-frills solution that honors the OEM intent and keeps you moving with fewer worries about leaks or misalignment.
