I had a severe oil leak from my truck's factory oil cooler. I would lose a quart in about 30 minutes. It was so bad that I lost oil pressure and my oil pressure gauge would bounce around. So, I would always keep it overfull knowing I'm constantly losing oil. Decided to try this Lucas additive. I start driving back home & sure enough my oil pressure gauge was still bouncing everywhere. I get home & there's oil everywhere. Parked it for the night, gave up on it. Next day I drive it to take my dad somewhere & realize my oil pressure was stable. I get home, look underneath & everything is dry. 2 months later, still no more oil leaks. Oil is a quart overfull though, because nolonger losing oil.
I have a 96 trailblazer and it's literally doing the same thing I'm having to pull over to put more oil in so I'm going to go ahead and get this a try because it sounds like we have the same issue and the same severity of leakage I appreciate you posting your story now I have hoping this will work cuz I can't lose my job missing another day of work
I have to say when you’re pouring in the Lucas the motor needs to be warm because otherwise it just drops him all the way down to the pan on the bottom and it’s not being used proper that’s my experience I’ve been working on cars ever since I was 14 I’m 63 and the other videos will tell you warm up the car driving around with a quart less you’re not gonna hurt it just warming it up then you put and while it’s running and keep it running for about 5 Minutes nine out of 10 you’ll have better results
03 buick rendezvous oil pan leaking what kind of stop leak should I use lucas,bars or blue devil?? The oil pan is such a pain to do on this car so not trying to do it right now
@@danielkramer4780 - I know this is an older reply/post but...what did you end up using and did it work? I've heard good things about the Blue Devil brand of products! Many thanks, cheers...
Don't forget how well this product will work depends in large part on how bad the leak is. And a very bad leak that really needs to be repaired this product probably won't work very well. But on Lesser leaks and minor leaks it works much better.
I already had coolant in my engine I used locust head gasket sealer and it works for over a year even sold the truck but I did tell the guy that it was Lucas and he said he would change the gasket and thank you for telling him and Lucas saved my life I would have been stuck in Florida with a blown head gasket I love this brand I Love You video
Wow!!! Thank you so much for the commitment of testing out and reviewing this product. I just purchased a 2006 Cadillac DTS and saw oil leaks when having my oil changed. My brother told me about this product and I thought I’d check the reviews before purchasing it. If you try a different product please share. Thank you again!
If you like Lucas stop leak you should check out Lucas power steering if you have any whining noises or squeals or any kind on your power steering Lucas power steering is the best
For stopping leaks I have found AT 205 to be the best product it has a water like consistency and revitalizes gaskets and seals it can be used in all of a car’s systems except for brakes
You should degrease under your car and engine between additive cycles, so you can see better. Maybe some of the oil comes from it being pooling and dripping.
He's right. It won't work at all if you have a worn gasket. Turns out my car has a worn gasket and I used this product that cost me more on oil cuz it didn't stop the oil leaks.
My theory STOP N GO cause more leaks is that you have changing pressure from 0 to more pressure. And it just pushes oils more. Where as on highway you are already experiencing steady pressure as the engine runs at a non changing oil pressure mode … or at least it’s a more steady pressure as opposed to stop and go .
Regardless if your leakage is big or small, ANY stop a leak will help regardless. It’ll slow down big leaks and give your wallet a rest on buying oil all the time. And if it stops the small leaks, then the rest of history.
I used this to help stop an oil leak but all this did was slow down the leak not stop it but I still have to spend money on buying more oil because it was low when I had topped it off before putting this Lucas oil garbage. So I don't understand how this saved me money on buying oil when it get the opposite.
Lucas failed here. With an engine leaking that much oil, oil changes are not required. Just change the filter at the interval and keep topping up the oil. Its just going to leak out, so it wont be in the engine long enough to get used for 10k miles. Or you could always advise that the vehicle is repaired with a new gasket.
So a bottle of the lucas stop leak takes place of 1 quart of oil? Or do you add a quart of stop leak to the normal amount of oil that your vehicle takes?
@@PhillipsVision no its been doing pretty decent but i have to keep replacing a couple of my spark plugs every few months give or take because the head gasket needs replaced but other than that ive gotten well over my moneys worth i baught it for $1200 back in 2020 with 300k on the odometer
I have found Lukas Oil Stop Leak to reduce my engine oil leaking by 90%, if I use it with Castrol GTX High Mileage engine oil. Castrol's seal conditioning additives, along with the Lukas Oil Stop Leak additives increase the effect of reducing oil leaking on my engine.
@@adrientheproblembroner9624 People use Lucas Engine Oil Stop Leak to avoid paying $2,000 to have an old near-end-of-life engine torn apart to have the main seals replaced.

The intake manifold gasket doesn’t have oil flowing through it, it is air flow. This will have with seals in the engine. Not sure about the valve cover gaskets either.
Do you have any info on trying this additive or any other similar oil leak additive products right after you have tried another that did not really work well? That product I tried has the same guarantees as those you just read.
i prefer a oil leak , the wind under my vehicle blows it all over the chassis, i recon unless its dripping on a part that becomes dangerouse why worry, bonus is i top up with fresh oil and me chassis is well oiled, cheaper thnan waxoiling it

Yes, this is 1 quart so you’ll need to drain 1 quart. I usually add this when doing an oil change so all the oil is clean as well. You do not want to overfill
gr8 vid, have you tried at-205 reseal? also check the PCV valve, if its in need of replacement it can be a contrib factor to a oil leak and oil consumption.

Before watching this video, I watched the one where you used Blue Devil, which I'm about to try. About 3 months ago, I used the Lucas Oil stop leak. Which, as with this video, did help. I plan to change both valve covers on my 5.3 engine, which should help. My rear main seal leak is the biggest culprit, though, so I'm trying Blue Devil next. Thanks for the videos!
Also check the valley pan gasket, those can leak bad as they get older. I have a ton of 5.3l videos on my channel covering various gaskets. I’m doing a lot of work on it.
@@PhillipsVision sorry hard to tell only saw the rear end for a split second of video. I have a small oil leak I'm try this on my commuter car hopefully it works. Thanks for the video.
Great video I’m gonna end up doing an oil change and buying this. I’ve been using Lucas oil to calm an engine knock but I’m gonna try out the stop leak cause I’m leaking some oil too.
Awesome product for rear gears, but leak stops are a joke. Only way you’re gonna stop is a leak is to change oring or gasket. Then. As an insurance use an Ultra Grey gasket maker to assist in helping the reseal. These band aid promises are a joke. They don’t truly “fix” anything.

You should degrease under your car and engine between additive cycles, so you can see better. Maybe some of the oil comes from it being pooling and dripping.
Can I use it on ES350 ‘09 with a front timing cover leak?
A had a slight drop forming not even hitting the ground and the stop leak fixed this. Probably an aged rear main seal.
I think it only helps with seals but not with worn gaskets because usually, gaskets don't swell with chemicals to stop leaking
btw Lucas doesnt use any chemicals... at least on this product

I plan to change both valve covers on my 5.3 engine, which should help. My rear main seal leak is the biggest culprit, though, so I'm trying Blue Devil next. Thanks for the videos!
Also check the valley pan gasket, those can leak bad as they get older. I have a ton of 5.3l videos on my channel covering various gaskets. I’m doing a lot of work on it.
What is that car you in that garage. 😳
Looks like your leak is a bit too big for an additive.
I see you have a Lambo in garage 🥰
It’s a Countach LP400S replica
@@PhillipsVision sorry hard to tell only saw the rear end for a split second of video. I have a small oil leak I'm try this on my commuter car hopefully it works. Thanks for the video.

@@PhillipsVision Nice.
@@PhillipsVision.. Pontiac Fiero underchassis?
@@82_KID yes, with a second frame to accommodate the Countach dimensions
@@PhillipsVision I was about to say how close do the replicas get!!! Are you happy with how the car turned out?
This is off topic but what grade gas you put in your trailblazer
Just the standard... 87 octane
@@PhillipsVision ok thanks
Hi. Can I added after an oil change ? I did my oil change months ago and now notice a small leak can I still add it now? Thanks in advance!
I would recommend changing your oil again and adding it before your oil. Add oil to top it off to the appropriate level
Great video I’m gonna end up doing an oil change and buying this. I’ve been using Lucas oil to calm an engine knock but I’m gonna try out the stop leak cause I’m leaking some oil too.
Did it worked for you?
I would do an oil change... but I already change oil about every week by adding oil.
Why you buying it...it don.t look like it works very well.
Was that a legit Lamborghini Countach?
No, it’s a replica
Awesome product for rear gears, but leak stops are a joke. Only way you’re gonna stop is a leak is to change oring or gasket. Then. As an insurance use an Ultra Grey gasket maker to assist in helping the reseal. These band aid promises are a joke. They don’t truly “fix” anything.
nice car in the garage.
Thx
Serv pro retentor do volanti
Thats really good
Hey how is the car now?
Doing good. Still a couple drops, but levels are not low as prior to use
Will ït make problems for future oil changes because of thickness? I know it will get very hot and probably thin out. Just wondering
I’ve been using it in a few of my vehicles and never had problems
Snake oil for engines! good product to quiet a noisy worn manual transmission
Is this for oil pan gasket leak?
Could be, but for that I would recommend Blue Devil oil leak. Blue Devil causes gaskets to swell and seal leaks.
Thanks buddy
absolutely amazing
I rather replace the oil pan gasket.
That's will be very pricey
Is that safe for air cooled motorcycles?
Not sure, you may want to check with Lucas
But why not just change the oil pan gasket?
That’s not always the issue, and on some vehicles the removal of the pan can be a bit complicated
Nice sir
So I just had my oil changed today. Is it too late for me to add this? Ive probably been 20 miles since Ive had the oil change done. I have a 95 jeep grand cherokee
No, you can add it. Just make sure you drain enough oil to make room to add this. You don’t want to over fill your oil.
