Fitment
This part fits the Nissan Sentra B17/B17U for the US market. For the 2013 model year it covers trims FE+S, FE+SV, S, SL, SR, and SV; the same trim range applies to 2014. For 2015 it covers FE+S, S, SL, SR, and SV.
The engine is MRA8DE, 1.8L inline-4 gasoline. According to the Nissan General EPC, the precise production segment for this number is approximately October 2012 through December 2014. Some 2015 model-year vehicles may have already transitioned to the later part number; VIN verification is required.
OE Interchange Assessment
13264-3RC0A is the confirmed genuine OE number, verified directly by the Nissan USA official catalog and EPC. The no-hyphen format 132643RC0A is a database/logistics variant of the same number, not a separate cross-reference. 13264-3RC1A is the later-production number occupying the same EPC position from approximately December 2014 onward. However, no official Nissan source has explicitly stated "superseded by 13264-3RC1A," and the PCV valve companion part also changed around the same production cutpoint. Therefore 13264-3RC1A cannot be treated as an unconditional drop-in replacement without VIN confirmation. The following numbers must never be listed as interchange numbers: gasket 13270-ET000, cover oil seal 13276-3RC0A, PCV valve 11810-1KC0A, bolt 13224-ET00A, and oil filler cap 15255-9N00A. All of these are separate companion parts, not cover assembly substitutes.
