I would not recommend Blue Devil Oil Stop Leak. For me, it did not work, only slowed the leak down some.
Thats all they can do. Every one of them on the market only slow the leak.
I do appreciate your advice now and prior to this comment. Blue Devil works for me quite well. I have a 95' Camry and it leaks everywhere!!.. Blue Devil keeps it running like a top!! .. Thank you for your honesty!! .. Please Stay Safe and Always Enjoy Life!! CC
@@carolyncornelius1492 I hope you stay safe too and that Toyota sounds like it might be time for service lol
@@BuildYourOwn ... The only reason I still drive this amazing Toyota is due to having an Outstanding Mechanic. .. ... I shall probably pop over to his shop soon!! .. Love my race car so much!! .. Thank you so much for your responses. YOU ROCK!!
Damn bro, that engine bay is clean.

Thanks for actually doing an update. My cars leaking from who knows where. And I’m probably going to end up just getting it corrected by a mechanic.
That's the best course of action
@@BuildYourOwn Found out it was a oil pressure switch. Thankfully nothing too expensive.
Bro my mf truck leaked and I fixed the seals then it started leaking from another hose then I fixed that and another mf line started leaking
Just some friendly info for those using the product from one who has used it on a 95 Camry v6. First application slowed it way down, (it was bleeding out a pint an hour) dropped to teaspoon an hour after couple hours of letting it run. Second dose a week later reduced it to a few drips now and then. My leak was the rear valve gasket. Replace the front with ease but the rears are a nightmare to access, even tire kingdom wouldn't touch. So I looked up and found blue devil. From what I've found and experienced, One application usually isn't enough to fully seal the leaks, especially if the seals are VERY old, like over 15 years. Your best bet is to add a second dose of the blue devil with a new oil change. Better still get the bule devil 3 in 1 pro version which also works on power steering leaks. but for oil leaks it even says if one application doesn't fully seal leak, add a second application. hope this gives some insight. I fully recommend it as a first option.
After the Second Bottle did it Fix the Leak Permanently?
@@MB1Billion I suppose I should do a follow up so here we go. So 7 months after using blue devil on my 95 camry v6 2 bottles, heres the results. Their is still an oil leak, however i would say a month after the second bottle it reduced by about 90 percent and has more or less remained that way. I'd say I'm losing a quart of oil a month through little drips here and there. But ultimately I do not fault the product. It effectively did do what it advertises, my issue is that my valve cover gasket is so old and worn out that it is likely cracked and as such no amount of blue devil will 100% seal it now. However it has swelled and exanded the seal around the crack(s) enough to reduce it to a trickle. I would say so long as the gaskets aren't cracked this product has a high probability of stopping a leak. If its cracked, its still a great stop gap especially if its a bad leak and repairs can't be done quickly. A quart a month versus a quart every couple days os a huge improvement. So there you have it my long term apprasial. I hope this helps out those curious about it.
@@Phoenixesper1 Thank you so much for the Update. It Seems like everyone else got the Same Results as You. It Just Reduced the oil Leak by 90%
@phoenixesper1 do you pour the whole bottle?
@@jesusescalera148 Yes.
I've read few reviews on Amzn that say 2-3 treaments and it sealed the leak.
I still may throw a bottle in on payday for a month...thanks for the review 👍
Did you? How’d it go?
I used this on my 2000 Excursion V10 for a minor oil leak, it stopped completely after about 3000 miles and I’ve used it on other vehicles where it just slowed up the leaks. If you have broken or cracked gaskets or orings it really can’t repair them.
I got an 03 s10 4.3 pickup. I just noticed small leaks of what I believe to be Gear oil from the Front Differential from where the Drive shafts go in. I put 2 oz of BLUE DEVIL oil stop leak into a bottle of 75w-90 gear oil then shot it in my front differential. Didnt shake the gear oil I wanted the blue devil to sit on the oil so 2 oz went in then the gear oil. My gear box took like a pint of gear oil. I drove up and down the road at 50 mph for like 30 minutes. So far i think the 2 leaks from each Shaft seal have been dissolved by the blue devil slightly then pushed into the leaks..... that's the only way this worked i can figure. The blue devil is a solvent that dissolves ur seals slightly then pressure pushes the goo into the leaks and it seals I guess. Maybe I'll post an update but so far I honestly think it may have worked for me in my differentials.
I really don't trust magic elixirs in bottles but I've used a few things on piece of crap cars. I've used Bars leaks after I hit some gravel and my radiator fins were leaking the bars leaks stopped the leak. I dont know what longterm effects were of the bars leak.
I appreciate your honest review, planning to use the the transmission version of this product to slow a trans leak on my tractor as fixing the seal will require me to split the tractor case to get to it.
Glad my review helped. And yes, it's worth trying a product first before having to do major surgery. Thanks for watching.
Stop leak does not work good (or even not at all) with hyper modern rubber seals, the brown and blue ones are Viton or Neoprene seals...they are resistent. Stop seal works best with BUNA (synthetical black rubber seals = NBR) On vintage cars with NBR rubber gaskets most stop leak additives work pretty well.
Maybe ill try this since at 205 reseal manufacturers stopped making it.
Thank you for the Update 👍
You bet. Thanks for watching!
I love this Chevy Cheyenne. My twin sister's dream car was a Volkswagen beetle in green
It's great to hear you love the Chevy Cheyenne! 😊 And that's a wonderful memory about your twin sister's dream car. The Volkswagen Beetle, especially in green, is indeed a classic beauty. I have a 2004 VW Beetle Turbo that I cover as well, but not as many videos as the truck. That said, I have big plans for the beetle.
I used Blue Devil Rear Main Sealer on my 97 Jeep 4.0, rear main seal has been leaking for years right on my exhaust, a lot of smoke & oil smell once up to temp.
I got the engine up to Temp. & poured all 8 0z's in at idle then drove it about 5 miles. Then let it idle for about 3 hours. NO LEAK AT ALL, NO OIL SMELL, NO SMOKE but it's only been about a week & 30 miles.
I don't drive my Jeep that much about 5,000 a year but I plan to drive it more & see if it starts leaking again. So far So good for me, I was loosing about a quart every 3,000 miles. I hate dumping things like this in my engine but took a chance on Blue Devil & I hope it lasts ?
Thanks for this review. I have a leak on my main seal but the leak is like a drop every couples months. My oil level is always in that happy medium or maybe more but never low. I am going to try this blue devil hopefully it will work on my 2014 tundra with 20k miles.
Sounds like that should be resealed under warranty!
with 20k miles i’d suggest taking it back to the dealer you got it from, they should replace the seal under warranty… no need to try cheap short term fixes that you’ll do constantly if you could get it properly repaired for free
It sounds like Blue Devil Oil Stop Leak not the best option at the moment.
I use synthetic oil. Do you think blue devil would work with that?
It says it works on Synthetic Oil Also. It's not just for Engines. You can also put it in a Leaking Car Jack or other things too.
I agree just get the repair done cheap fixes will never work you have two beautiful vehicles but they will be nothing if they are not running properly and another thing used vehicles are not new vehicles so you will encounter problems when you purchase a used vehicle so don't get mad but it's a shame how new vehicles nowadays are given the most problems to consumers
4" lift on a 2wd chevy 1500, ok I may have seen everything now lol.
Entropy. Damn it. Well, thanks for the update
Love that truck
Do I need ro change oil before adding it? Or add ot now then change oil?
Your truck is probly leaking into the valley from the cylinder head gasket. I have a Dodge challenger 3.6 pentastar motor. That's my problem. Bank 1 (passenger side) it has a tiny leak. I changed the oil filter housing thinking it was that. But I used oil dye and saw a small leak from the the front bottom of the cylinder head to the engine block dripping a very small amount of oil into the Valley.
Bad valve stem seals? Biggest worry is a car on fire ? Is the truck a daily driver ?
My 1993 Toyota Corolla DIED about 40 or 50 miles after I put that stuff in.
Well it had a long life at least
Nice design cary too. Too bad.😈😈😈
For those waiting, jump to the 2:00 mark
Probably burning oil on the truck if you don't see oil leak on the ground
That could be. Although for most oil leaks you will still see some hit the ground after it's parked overnight.
Do you have to drain out some oil before adding blue devil? Should it be added right after an oil change?
I don't think it matters. The directions make no mention of any of that
If you have a bad enough leak to rock the blue devil... removing oil will not be a concern.
Update on my blue devil... put a bottle in transmission... goes through 2 quart in half mile. Yep
2007 Hyundai Entourage i know it was timing value cover $1200 bucks !!!
2009 Hyundai Santa Fe, same issue, same price. Hardly use this vehicle anymore. Thinking of trying the blue devil. what did you do?
any updates????
How can it be a true review if you over filled the crankcase?
He said tne puddle had always been there AND there's been no oil loss.
Sounds like Blue Devil worked.
He later talljed about putting a different motor in it, a V8, etc. and his tone was noticeably different than before.
I would guess his change of plans could be juxtified by the oil leak and thats the direction he wanted to go in, along with saying he tried a product to no avail, yadda yadda. Credibility?
So get the V8 already.
After paying for that repair I would regret even pouring any sort of engine repair liquid into that crankcase. I hope that pouring the Blue devil product into the crankcase did not affect the life expectancy of the motor.
Why would it
Valve cover leaking and you put a bandaid on it...valve covers easy
Slow down hoss, I did the valve covers th-cam.com/video/ivr3diACUaI/w-d-xo.html - I just wanted to try the product first.
I have a Volvo with a decent size oil leak in the back it's also a turbo will this work?
I'm going to say no. None of this stuff has ever fixed a leak. I had the Beetle in the video fixed at the dealer and I'm going to do the repair on the truck myself.
went to garage cause my car uses a quart of oil in a month well it is not using oil it is leaking ,took to garage they said i need gaskets in thress different places almost a 100 to be told this,then a print out $1,500 to get all three gaskets repace,l was trying to see how i was going to find that much before l for get to check my oil ,l went to Advance auto he said try Blue Devil ,l just try it l will update how it goes
Nice update!
Update?
