It is stated on Bar's Leak site among FAQ: What are the dosage recommendations?One (1 liter) bottle treats cooling systems from 10 quarts (2.5 gallons) to 20 quarts (5.0 gallons). Use ½ bottle for smaller cooling systems from 6 quarts (1.5 gallons) to 9.9 quarts (2.49 gallons). For larger systems use 1 bottle for every 5 gallons of cooling capacity.

The 2008 Accord's coolant capacity varies greatly, depending on the vehicle's options. The total capacity of the Accord's cooling system is 2.11 gallons when fitted with an automatic transmission and 2.14 gallons with a manual transmission. When only draining and filling the cooling system, the Accord requires 1.56 gallons of coolant when equipped with an automatic transmission. Draining and filling a manual transmission-equipped Accord requires 1.59 gallons of coolant.

Hi Muzzammil, when it was time for me to change my coolant, I ordered (2) gallons of this, as per manual. But, when I drained my 2005 Accord from the bottom drain block...it only required (1) gallon to completely fill!

I don't know for sure, but I don't think it would. All it does is recharge the coolant. It won't fix anything that's broken.

The entire affair is sealed, with the liquid coolant preinstalled. You never need to add coolant during the lifetime of the cooler. I have several of these running in PCs, and they're effective and quiet.

Yes. It is safe for all years. If you replace all the coolant you should also use a small bottle if coolant system conditioner.

The tubes take up some space, so two quarts would be a good estimate. Make sure you go by your dipstick to get your final level.

It comes in a gallon, I ordered it last Spring and I had the same Question. I don't know why they put QT. down it has to be a mistake when they set the ad.

I bought 4 Qts, but it didn't take all of it. Do not overfill! What I do is empty into oil tray then pour the old oil into a gallon milk container to see how much came out. I thinks it was about 3 Qts.

I have used this, and it worked good for me. I first drained all coolant from car, then flushed the cooling system with clean water until clean clear water was all in the motor block, and radiator. You must remove the thermostat before flush, and sealer is ran. After good flushing, drain some of the water , then add the head sealer , top off with water in the radiator. Now let the car run for a few hr's. Get it warm. Don't let it over heat. Some say they leave it in a few days, and drive it with the sealer in before re-filling with proper coolant. It will not work if any coolant is in the system when using the head sealer. I have used it on 2 cars, and both are fine now. Worked great for me.

There is a scoop inside the container that is marked 25.0 cc. The instructions say to use one scoop as directed for 3 consecutive days. - I would guess that you will get 15 + treatments per container.

I would pour half of the bottle in. If you need to use the other half I would flush the coolant system first.

Yes, that works perfect. I used super cold water as the tca was stinging my skin and it felt good to cool it.

hey dave, i added one 32 oz bottle on my last oil change, i will be adding another on my next oil change. this is what is recommended if the first does not completely stop the leaks. my first treatment has helped alot, reducing the leaks to just a small amount. i am hopeful the 2nd treatment will stop it completely. to your question, use one qt of lucas to 4 qts of oil. hope this is helpful and hope it works for you.

It'll run a bit hotter than if you had standard coolant. 10F is common. But it is no big deal as your engine can handle running much hotter. It is the water based coolant that cannot handle running much hotter. I run Evan's in my aircraft and my coolant temps run 200-220F. Before it ran 190-205.

I found a small amount shows up quickly and it is better if you can clean engine areas first, as it then helps pinpoint leak, also a lot of driving just causes it to smear out more. But they have other products better suited for coolant.

I used 1 qt to apply 3 coats on the outside of a 16' cedar canoe, plus, 3 coats on the interior. 30% thinner on the 1st coat, allow to dry to a tack,apply 2nd with 20% thinner. Let harden over night, then sand and apply 3rd coat with 10% thinner. Very pleased with the results.
