Lucas Oil 10278 Engine Stop Leak, 946 ml

Product Information

Along with using additives, you also need to keep your oil clean so that the engine does not wear down. Only additives alone would not be able to keep your oil from leaking if you do not pay attention to maintenance at all. There are two ways to use Lucas engine oil stop leak: as a preventative measure, or as a repair. If you’re using it as a preventative measure, simply add it to your oil at the recommended dosage. This will help to keep your seals and gaskets lubricated and prevent leaks from happening. If you’re using it as a repair, Lucas engine oil stop leak can be added directly to the leaking area.

The BlueDevil additive is a permanent solution to oil leakage issues. The application of the additive is very easy, and it is also safe for users. This additive can work well in both gasoline and diesel engines, which makes it highly versatile. There will be no compromise with the vehicle’s safety and engine health with this additive. Leaking engines are usually older engines. Lucas Engine Oil Stop Leak is not only a leak stopper but also an excellent additive for worn engines. The user can expect less engine noise, higher oil pressure and less oil consumption as the Lucas additives fill the space between the worn parts. Product is also effective at stopping leaks in automatic transmissions, hydrostat transmissions or hydraulic systems. 10% is usually adequate – more can be used in badly worn units. Always go for formulas that have no long-term effects and would not wear out your engine. The wrong chemical would do more harm than good for your engine. PriceWhile these additives have not been shown to cause harm to an engine, a better option may be to use “high-mileage’’ oil. These oil formulas contain additives designed to keep engine seals flexible and help prevent small leaks. Additives work depending upon the situation. They can temporarily stop or minimize a slow leak. This enables individuals who do not have sufficient funds to fix the underlying problem to drive or operate the engine until they can get it fixed properly. Sealants do not have the ability to stop large leaks if the gasket or seal has a outsized hole, gap or breakage. In these cases, the seal must be replaced. Instead of particle-clogging substances, later versions of additive products were formulated from petroleum distillates that would swell the gasket or seal. This would cause it to seal properly and stop the leak.

While the formula works excellent at rejuvenating rubber, it isn't perfect for every oil leak situation. ATP has the possibility of thinning out your oil. This depends on what type of oil you use, but thinner oil can cause issues such as lower performance and worse gas mileage. It's also possible for this product to produce blue smoke. Specs Every additive has a different activation period, and you need to ensure that they mix well with the engine oil. Once you add the required amount of additive to the engine oil, it will take a few hours to activate.Though most of the oil stop leak additives may work properly, there are some considerations that you need to look for. Below mentioned are essential factors that should be considered when buying the best oil stop leak additives. Compatibility Sometimes you need to let the solution run for about 100 miles or more to activate to its extent. Without optimum activation, the additive will not work the way it is supposed to, and the leaks will not be fixed properly. Petroleum Distillates There is no such thing as a miracle in a can. Using these oil additives is like giving your car drugs. They may mask a problem for a while, until they have a “withdrawal” and cause a much larger problem, which will require more money to correct. The best solution is to get the leak fixed properly as soon as possible. Additives are only a temporary fix. What to Read Next
