you should use injector cleaner periodically. something like restore and berrymans at the same time. only stuff thatll melt a foam coffee cup. you can run that with hot fuel (I blend race gas with coleman fuel for my tunes desired octane, 70&110/120, do the math) and itll not only clean the injectors but you can Tijuana Tuneup updraft o2s clean and sometimes basically regen sooty cats (if they're not already melted and broken) you should also "seafoam" your intake manifold, with a vacuum line, to help clean egr and pcv crud out from anything behind the fuel injectors. if you can feed the seafoam in through the idle-air valve/controller port thats the absolute best place to do so, this will fix cars that stall and have wonky idles... otherwise go to the pcv hose and if you can, pop the pcv and suck some actually through it. or, ultimately, do all of these, maybe once every year or two. clean the injectors yearly. you can do that and the cat/o2 regen burn before emissions if thats a thing for you.

[@rogerwhiting9310]

0:06 - AT-205 Re-Seal, for engine/transmission leak seal 3:03 - Bar's Leaks, for Radiator leak seal 6:10 - Plexus, for headlights or any plastics cleaner 10:10 - Check Engine and other lights on? Fix the Check Engine first: other lights may be a side effect 12:24 - Don't waste with fuel and/or oil additives; just use quality gas and change the oil 13:38 - Heater not working? Check radiator coolant 14:28 - Check the Batteries manufacturing date for fresh batteries: buy fresh, less than a month old ones

[@Arnold_X3]

I used a similar product at O'Reilly's. At 200,000 the rear main seal started leaking oil. I used their product and it stopped leaking, now I have 350,000. Ford E150 4.6l

[@pamcm1098]

AT-205 definitely slowed down an engine oil drip I've had for over a year. Didn't stop it completely, but slowed it down significantly. Lucus engine oil stop lead did nothing.

[@Kurtdog63]

I wouldn't know how to act if all my dash warning lights weren't on.

[@TheFlyingHambone]

🤣

[@rustypugh123]

I like Scotty, but I’m surprised at him for not telling people that head gasket “sealer” is the worst thing you can do. It just clogs up your thermostat and heater core. Not only have I had it happen to me, but EVERY decent mechanic I know says never use that stuff.

[@liberpater1342]

Did you hear his disclaimer @4:56? Perhaps this was yoir situation?

[@Gandoff2000]

AT-205 . I put about a table spoon in my power steering unit on my accord. It stopped making a noise. Do it at your own risk but it worked for me. I had gotten it to stop a leak on the motor (maybe a rear main seal). It did slow the leak down.

[@Taras-Nabad]

Works in rear ends, love it.

[@samgarofalo2461]

Always put a charger on the battery before installing to assure peak power. Obviously, this is impossible. If you have the parts store, install the battery for you,

[@notrightmeow3357]

I used that Bar’s stuff for a radiator leak. It’s still holding after 3 years.

[@johnqpublic407]

If the rad has a hairline crack, would this work?

[@niteshades_promise]

we had an amc jeep eagle as a kid. my dad junked it running great in perfect condition because the real main seal went. i loved that 4wd. 😢 🍻

Maintenence required..mine comes on 4500 to do an oil change. It blinks than at 5000 stays on. I like it for oil changes.

[@AndrexT]

Scotty must be taking a break, these videos are from the old Houston House and Garage until 12 minutes in and after 20 seconds about oil then back to Houston, battery made 2011! Enjoy your break.

[@komradkolonel]

The AT205 does work. Too bad there aren't really things you can do to make one of those Briggs & Stratton lawn mower engines last. There was a time you could get 20-30 summers out of them if you kept the oil changed and the carburetor clean. Now you're lucky to get maybe four or five years before it's burning oil or you have to replace that cheap carburetor.

Don’t use AT205 in a Honda with VCM it will cause it to go into limp mode after awhile. But if you have , just change the oil and the next 2 times change it at 50% life to get out any residual. Stick to high mileage oil, it has some seal conditioners to help with oil leaks
