    Just a lil dab to give oil a bit0cling. The oil conditioner works for long storage, parked equipment. I use the stop leak also for micro seaps . No need to go excessive in cool weather with either one. My dip sticks never rust. Always quick starts with no rattle! Lucas gas clean prevents injector drewel also! All motors love to cuddle! Lol

    Seems like the cardboard worked better than the Lucas

      Yes, you are correct! I should just leave the cardboard under the car indefinately, might fix the problem.

      @@thewrighthandyman8139on the bottle it says use every oil change my trailblazer holds 7 quarts of oil I put 2 in every oil change it isn’t the Lucas making things worse trust me I’ve been using it for years if your using 5w30 switch to 10w30 if your at 200,000 plus miles like I am now Lucas does not claim if the leak is very severe it can stop it in fact they tell you if parts are worn beyond capacity it will need mechanical repair obviously there is no engine oil stop leak that can do what a head gasket sealer does because it would clog oil passages and blow your engine up if it’s controlling the leak and your not having to add oil as often that’s a win you can put 2 in I wouldn’t tell you wrong good luck sir 😊

      @@thewrighthandyman8139if it’s controlling your leak verses paying a mechanic 1500 or better to replace a rear main seal or whatever it may be don’t sweat it I don’t think your leak got worse I think the Lucas mixed with the oil is blowing places making it look worse than it originally was are you still losing the same amount of oil or less now? If it’s less like I said that verses paying a mechanic 1500 is a big win in that type of vehicle the engine has to come out and then were talking 1500 or more to replace the seals and hope like hell the mechanic does his job right the first time and you don’t have to pay someone else to redo it if the Lucas is helping stick with it the leak hasn’t got worse the Lucas is sticky so it doesn’t drip on the ground very much mixed in your oil it’s doing its job if your putting less oil in than before best of luck to ya and happy holidays 😊❤I watch all your videos awesome job on the videos

    Do not forget to check for loose or busted bolts. Gaskets sneaking out will tattle!

    My first pepsodent experience sent me into a serious toddler gag fit. Big bubba said the adverts over use. Lucas is a lil dab will doo ya! I use 10% or less. Just enough to see a bit on a cold dip stick. 250sd 2000 has a micro alum head crack. Now just warm up before a heavy haul and no leak for a year now. A little heavier oil with over 200000 miles. Give it a swig o lucas. No leaks, no lifter rattles.

    I have a moderate leak in my 2000 Ford Taurus. Unfortunately Lucas didn't work at all for me. The thickness had me worried, too..

    • @thewrighthandyman8139
      @thewrighthandyman8139  ปีที่แล้ว

      I ended up replacing the valve cover gaskets which helped, but I still have a leak coming from somewhere. Just need to track it down.

  • @FSHerrante

    This is a solvent based product. It inflates seals and O-rings very quickly for a short time. But if these seals are deformed or cracked, this product will not make them recover their original shape, the leak will persist and will even increase by causing them to break in pieces. If the seal has been eaten by friction, this product will not recover the material it has lost.

    • @thewrighthandyman8139
      @thewrighthandyman8139  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Good point, I don't know if these seals have suffered loss, or are just hard. Possibly both considering the age of the car.

    Could be the head gasket leaking externally. Subarus have issues with leaky head gasket after 100k miles

    • @thewrighthandyman8139
      @thewrighthandyman8139  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      For small leaks, it should help. For bigger leaks, I don't think there is much it can do. If the gaskets are too far gone, then they need to be replaced.

      Maybe because the drive way is not level that’s why it leaks oil So when the wife park her vehicle there it leaks oil not in the garage it’s level.

    maybe you should flip the cardboard to the clean side? and then you will have a more clear image of what is going on?

    You have to use it for 3 oil changes and it will stop all oil leaks it doesn't work on the first try

      Someone I know said after 700 kilometers it slowed the leak but after 6000 kilometers the leaking stopped completely, u have to use the stop leaking product on ur oil change so u add it and can get the ultimate benefit after a while

    you should clean the engine bay after pouring the Lucas Oil

      Yes, I put it in just before an oil change and drove it for a week or two. It helped, but some of the gaskets were just too far gone

  • @HastyHydro

    dude the wind and turbulence under the car will blow oil all over everything and place so you cannot tell where it is coming from! BTW Lucas Stop leak does not work!! just a thick heavy weight oil that flows or leaks at a slower rate.....STP oil will work just as good at 1/3 the cost simple as that

      Yes, I have seen videos of their regular filters which look like garbage. The full synthetic ones seemed much better. I have switched to K&N now, so hopefully, it's all good.
