can one use the product after an oil change which leaves little room for adding the lucas oil stop leak
1027706
I wouldn't recommend putting this if there's little or no room, assuming you've already checked the minimum and the maximum hashmark on your dipstick after your oil change. Too much oil in your engine could aggravate the leak(s) because of pressure when the engine is running. Leaks might start to come out at different seams like at the valve cover.I would recommend to add stop leak (Lucas) on your next oil change instead. Just read the ratio of stop leak and the oil in the Lucas container. After you've drain your old oil and put back the drain plug, put the right amount of Stop Leak first before adding the rest of your oil, checking the oil dipstick while doing this so you won't go over max.

Just consider the stop leak as 1 quart of oil and you will be good. It has stopped all leaks for me.

I did. I put in what I could fit and then the rest when the oil was low enough. I know for sure it can't hurt and it's not that expensive. I bought extra bottles in case I need them but so far I haven't. Hope this helps you. Ami.

Yes, but check the oil level on the dipstick as you pour to be sure not to overfill. Mine took the whole bottle.

The Lucas oil to regular oil mix is written on the side of the bottle. You need to know the oil capacity for your vehicle.

Only if you have a leak and your system is empty. Then you will need to pull a vacuum on it after you have repaired the leak. Other wise you can put a can of stop leak in it and then change it back to the normal amount needed. Hopes this answers your question.

No, I used it to seal a differential housing and the oil ate right thru! The stuff goes on as thin as water, it's useless, don't waste your money on this product.

I would actually strongly recommend a different Lucas product, which is the transmission fluid conditioner. Seeing as your fluid is new, the conditioner would be a better fit. The transmission fix is for serious transmission problems like slipping or late shifting. Having said that, It couldn't hurt. However, if you flushed the entire body of trans fluid, you should be fine. This product is made to rejuvenate old fluid. It may act as added protection, but the best results I've seen have been with adding the product to old fluid. For the price, you're not in the hole too much if you don't find a notable difference...

Yes you can ,unless you have a leak and are constantly having to add it,it wont hurt nothing.Most car manuals call for full strength in resevoir anyway.

I don't think so but you can contact Lucas Oil directly. They are very friendly.

I depends on the what the oil level shows as. On my 1999 BMW 328ic I needed to remove oil before adding, but it was over the level anyway.

I would not want to use it say, after you just drove a dozen miles across town or on the freeway. It probably would be a little hard on the seals. Take the car around the block maybe or let it run for a few minutes to thin the oil a bit. Then do your oil change.

Sure, you can use it with any oil you have, just drop twice more (drops) oil then manufacturer suggests for better (noticeable) result

No you have to put the oil after you receive it. If you don't use it in over a week the oil will leak out. So if you are not going to use it regularly drain the oil

This product is used as a sealer on a gasket. It does not replace a gasketThere are other products to replace a gasket

I use Lucas as an additive. If your car has been sitting up that long with out being driven or cranked in a year. I would drain all fluids. The ethanol they have in fuel now will mess up your injectors.

I'm not sure, however Lucas appears to be a good upper lube for the valves and claims to clean up the combustion for a better fuel burn, thus possibly increasing the gas mileage too.

Sure!! If you order this be sure to open it right away. I ordered two and both of them had a slight oil leak. Still Recommend.

No, the recommended use for this product is with the oil change every 50k kilometers
