Gallery Gasket Time?

Yes usually the oil light will come on. The motor oil level has nothing to do with the gallery gaskets leaking. When the gallery gaskets leak the oil pressure will drop. Getting an oil pressure gauge is always a good idea. I see you have an 11’ what is your current mileage? Since everything will be apart and you will already be in there do yourself a favor a install new timing chain,gaskets,guides, tensioner,water pump, and aftermarket oil pump gears. You don’t want to have to go in there a second time. I would go with the EPS rear timing cover gallery gasket kit or Genuine Nissan.

Thanks. It has 80k miles. I referred to checking the oil level only to confirm that the oil level wasn’t the cause of low oil pressure, and in fact points to gallery gaskets. I was literally about to post asking if I should go ahead and do oil gears, so thank you! I already have a gasket kit from Z1. Here is what I got done today.
