This is what the video says: - Shake Bottle and pour either directly into radiator via radiator cap or into coolant reservoir. - One full bottle for 6/8/10 cylinder, 1/2 bottle for 4 cylinder. - Replace cap and start vehicle.

Hi Rebecca, thanks for giving us a chance to help you out. If you need to speak to us, our customer support team is available M-F 8am-5pm EST, and can be reached at 800-345-6572.
What's the purpose of blasting the heat and fan on high? Does this aid in moving the product through the heater core so it doesn't clog anything there? I'd LOVE for this product to work but I'm apprehensive for this one factor before I buy and try it.
Yes, the reason is so that you get good flow through your heater core. If installed in a clean cooling system at proper dosage you will have no restriction issues. If you have not flushed with a cooling system flush product in the last 30-40 thousand miles you will want to flush before adding the product. Feel free to contact our Technical Service Professionals at 800-345-6572 or if you would prefer you can use the contact us page on our website.
I'm excited to hear about this product but in my unique case, I've got blown head gasket but my ford pinto engine is on a Rail Buggy!!!! Which means I don't have a heater, which ever video suggests its a critical to run the heater on HIGH!!!! Can you advise or offer recommendations ????
Does this product really works in coolant reservoir or not? I have a 2016 Ford Focus SE. I will only need half bottle since I have 2.0 L 4 cylinder engine?
You can install into a pressurized overflow if you do not have access to the radiator. If you have access you will need to install directly into the radiator.
i used this to fix a radiator leak and it clogged my radiator and heatercore i had to replace both ive used other bars products before with no problem but i wouldn't recommend this it did more damage than it fixed
The product is engineered to flow through 0.030" 0.035" unrestricted, and will not cause clogging. If there's concern with your system or it hasn't been flushed in the last 3-4 years please do so before running a stop leak. Our customer support team is available M-F 8am-5pm EST, and can be reached at 800-345-6572 if you have further questions.
Add one bottle for 5, 6, 8 and 10 cylinder engines. Use 1/2 bottle in 3 and 4 cylinder engines. One bottle treats cooling systems from 10 quarts (2.5 gallons) to 16 quarts (4 gallons). Use 1/2 bottle for cooling systems from 6 quarts (1.5 gallons) to 9.9 quarts (2.4 gallons). For larger systems use one bottle for every 3 gallons of cooling system capacity. Small engines or other small systems use 4 to 5 fluid ounces per gallon of fluid capacity.
I have a 2002 Buick century and I see a 4-5 inch crack in the radiator hose kit. Can bars stop leak prove to be helpful in this case also, which bars leak I am supposed to use for the car? It's also old with over 200k miles on it.
With a crack that large I do not think we will be able to help. How much fluid loss are you getting? Can the vehicle run for 15 minutes without having to add fluid? Is the crack on the hose itself?
Hi I used the Bar's Leaks Block Seal Head Gasket Fix 24 , yesturday I still get missfires when driving 55 M/h does it take litlte longer than a day to work ? should I wait couple days ? I purchase the stronger one the HG-1.. Should I flush the coolant before I will use this one in couple days ?

Say if your car is not leaking until your start running your AC or HEATER? Seems like that’s the only thing that drains my fluid out. I put this stuff in there & no drip but I thought the car was just to run idle or drive it only (that’s what it said on the bottle) but when I watched & cut the heater on full blast that’s when I started getting small drips that eventually got to a small puddle.. maybe I should’ve kept the heater off & let it circulate on its own?
Jordon Cole-Samuels Doesn't hurt anything - the formula stays in the system (until it gets flushed) and will actually guard against future leaks. We have quite a few customers who use our products as preventative measures, especially in older cars. More info here: barsleaks.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/1186-Tech-Sheet.pdf
Could this product be used as a preventative measure. I've got a high mileage vehicle which has been in the family for a couple of years. Just wondering if it would be a good idea to add this even though there are no current issues with the cooling system or head gasket
If using for Preventative Maintence we would suggest the Radiator Stop Leak Tablets. Part number for that product is HDC. I will leave a link to the product page below. barsleaks.com/product/radiator-stop-leak-tablets-hdc/
Hi DNFDESTROYER1818, thanks for your question. This product can be installed in to the reservoir as long as it has a screw on cap, which means it's pressurized.

To everybody watching these commercials do not ever use these on your vehicle they will plug up your heater core they will damage your engine and your cooling system every single time never add anything to your engine fix it the right way
Hi there Mark, fact is our products will not clog up heater cores, damage engines, or cooling systems. We're a family owned business that's been around for over 70 years helping people fix their leaks, as a matter of fact we've been installed on the factory assembly line as a preventative measure since the 50's. We do agree that sometimes the hard fix is the only way to go, but for some customers that's not an option due to the age of the vehicle or cost of repair. As long as the system is clean we can safely pass through without clogging. Thanks for stopping by Mark.
@@BarsleaksUSA then tell me why it plugged the holes up in my radiator and then in my engine I'm in the process of trying to remove it because it's clogged the main passage and my heater stopped working so sorry if I'm dealing with something and I don't believe what you believe

Lousy video, just talk no demonstration....? Anyway, the stuff worked in my 02 Camry with a moderate radiator leak. Used it per the bottle directions, not per these two actors. Got the idea to try it from Scotty Kilmer, he was right, it works. Beware, as it pours super slow and tends to overflow out of the radiator filler neck.
Unfortunately a very bad product. I just used it today as described in this video and in the instructions on the bottle. At this moment I don't have anymore heat in the car :(. It probably clogged up my radiator. From a minor leak to a big problem. Thank you bar's leaks liquid!

Hi Anthony thank you for your comment. As a family run company since 1947 we take comments like these very seriously. Cooling systems that are dirty or partially clogged should always be flushed prior to use of our products. Most of the time people assume that just draining and replacing coolant is sufficient to achieve this, however that's not the case. Over time scale, rust, and even dirt can accumulate in the very narrow passages of radiators and heater cores restricting flow. We constantly test, and monitor our products to make sure we are able to flow through these passages unrestricted.
