I can't believe what Bars Stop Leak did to my engine!

DO NOT USE bars stop leak its not safe for your engine, transmission, power steering system. I cant believe what bars stop leak did to my engine. Today on Nates interactive auto we show how to stop a engine oil leak. stop automatic transmission leaks or power steering even oil leaks all in one oil additive or oil treatment. fix your engine oil leaks the easy way. Also check out STP stop leak. The bars leaks one seal stop leak claims to stop leaking gaskets and bars stops oil seal leaks. lets us know if you would like to see Lucas oil transmission fix. we have tested and review Lucas engine oil stop leak check out that video.

[@NATESINTERACTIVEAUTO]

What stop leaks have you tried and did they work?

[@990966]

Replacing the actual seal that's faulty. Do not bother with this kind of stuff unless you drive a beater.

[@hed_sh0tz__638]

I was pouring oil out of either the front main seal or the lower Timing chain cover on my POS VW 2.0t. Lost 7-8 quarts of oil during a trip. It was a Sunday and no shops in the area were open. Guy at autozone said he never had a stop leak that worked.. I agreed but had no choice but to pick one. The blue devil rms stop leak was what I went with and I was shocked the next morning when I looked under the car and "not a single drop of oil" on the concrete. I'm sure it is not a long term fix, but absolutely incredible results from a non-believer of stop leak fluids.

At least it slowed it down to where you won't have to keep adding as much oil to it--a good stopgap (no pun intended) until you get the thing repaired.

[@NATESINTERACTIVEAUTO]

Yes i have thought of that one recently much appreciated.

[@averyalexander2303]

My opinion on stop leaks is that you are way better off correctly fixing the leak if at all possible. I don't like the idea of stop leaks because they affect all the seals in the system and because they will reduce the oil's lubricity and change its viscosity, even if only slightly. An engine may not care much about this, but it could kill an automatic transmission. Think about it- Someone has a leaking valve cover gasket, so they add a stop leak to fix it. The stop leak also swells the cam seals as well as the crank seals and all the other seals and they wear into that position. When they start to relax over time or if someone changes the oil and doesn't add the stop leak again, you just created an expensive leak you didn't have before. I have never used an oil stop leak before but from what I have seen and heard from people who have used them, any improvements are usually very temporary and sometimes when the leak returns it leaks worse than it did before. If someone has a leaking rear main seal on an old beater that they plan to dump soon maybe give it a try. But if you care about your vehicle or if the fix is simple like a leaking valve cover gasket or something, my advice is to just fix the leak correctly and be done with it. I feel strongly enough about that that when my rear main seal went bad I spent the day pulling the engine out to replace it instead of trying to use a stop leak.

[@NATESINTERACTIVEAUTO]

Yeah i agree with much of this thanks for the information.

[@_Common_Logic_]

I'm not sure these 3-dollar quick fixes are for guys that can pull their own engines out or even have a vehicle worth the expense of having a professional do it... These are usually only there to prolong the inevitable on high-mileage beaters. That being said, Lucas oil treatment (not a "fix") and Sea-foam in the FUEL TANK (not the harsh intake carbon blast) are the only additives I've used over the years... BOTH with phenomenal results on extremely high mileage engines including air-cooled shovel-heads run in extreme temps. The rest of the quick-fix-snake-oils just aren't worth the risk, in my opinion.

[@RickyPisano]

Yeah....a simple valve cover. Try that on a 2005 Ford Duratec DOHC V-6. I have oil in the plug wells on Bank 2, cylinders 4 and 5. Cylinder 6 is clean. You can't even see Bank 1 against the firewall. So...intake removal, harnesses all over the place, then, finally the valve covers. For a 16 year old car with 225k miles? The car is in cosmetically perfect condition but that's an awful lot of work. If it could be avoided with a stop leak product that worked I'd definitely give it a shot. On a newer car..... never. I wouldn't even consider it. I've pulled a lot of engines back in the day. All kinds. Swapped engines, did Tune ups. Intakes. Everything. Did a lot of work in my garage for many people. Even if I still had my garage with the hoist. Engine stand, and all my old tools I still would avoid this job for this car. Even considering the awesome condition it's in. Just a royal pain in the ass. Especially without a garage now. But I agree with what you're saying. I never recommended these quick fixes. Especially the radiation stop leaks.

[@averyalexander2303]

@@RickyPisano I know what you mean, I had to pull the motor out of my car to change the rear main seal a couple years ago. I'd try a good high mileage oil before a stop leak though, especially if you plan on keeping the car. If you use a stop leak you will likely have a bigger leak and/or more leaks than you started with after a year or so.

[@RickyPisano]

@@averyalexander2303 Yes... this car never missed an oil change in 15 years. This Ford 500 Limited is almost mint. Not a knick on it. Interior like new. Everything works perfectly. Brand new tires. I KNOW it's still a strong car. I cleaned out the oil in the plug wells on cylinders 4 and 5 on Bank 2. Not that much. Not even touching the coil packs. Plug well on cylinder 6 was clean. Checked all front 3 coil packs on Bank 2 and they were firing strong. Tightened up the valve cover just a bit. So at this point I'm gonna change the plugs in cylinders 4 and 5 and check the plug in cylinder 6. 4 and 5 are probably fouled. If the lean STFT/LTFT readings return to normal on Bank 1 and the misfire stops in Bank 2 I'll leave it at that. Bank 1 might not even be leaking and there are no vacuum leaks. If the readings go south again and the check engine light comes back on then I'll remove the Intake manifold, both valve covers, change all the gaskets intake included, plugs, coil packs, PCV, clean injectors, check the cam retainers, everything I can reach with the intake off and valve covers off. Then I won't have to worry about doing the same job in 6 months if Bank 1 has a problem. Man, I miss my old tools and garage right about now. If I still had them this would be a wrap by now.
