Throw it in. My car wasn't actually burning oil I just use it to prevent it.

Try prolong it doesn't burn as fast as conventional oil. Mix it with the motor oil every oil change. It can be purchased at auto zones or online at www.gwlinc.com/estore/category/34_1/Automotive.aspx

Try the Lucas heavy duty oil stabilizer it works good for warn motors that use oil

Mine doesn't leak any oil. I bought mine about May 2014 and gave it a good workout making Christmas cookies. So far mine is performing as it should. My daughter gave me the grinder attachment for Christmas and I ground a roast into hamburger and loved it! I expect the mixer to last for YEARS!

If everything is tight, it looks ok. But you are correct that these engines do not have low oil level sensor or shutoffs. Need to keep an eye on it.

For some reason they put a piece of foam in the oil resevoir. This keeps the oil from going in. I removed mine and I can now fill it up.

Wont hurt anything I was driving for a year with it leaking water into the oil seems the oil is so hot it steams the water out of the oil. I wouldnt go out of my way to put extra coolant in the oil and why dont you drain the coolant first. Its at the top of the engine prb drained down lower. I saw no coolant in mine and like you say change the oil. I just traded my 2001 Impala 118K mi for a 2013 Altima I am tired of fixing stuff. Everything was about to go in that car. Tranny was next.

Its not an oil problem its a design flaw. there is a review that tells how to repair it above. IF you dump it right after ever use there shouldn't be to much of a problem.

When you remove the plastic tube from the dipstick tube, hold it with paper towels. Wrap some generously around the end, then wrap two plastic shopping/garbage bags over that. That prevents any oil from whipping around and absorbs the leaks. Then place the whole thing in a heavy contractor-grade plastic bag, with more paper towels in the bottom. Toss out the bags & towels & replace next time around. That's the cleanest simplest way to use any of these things. No spills no mess, just some oily waste.

The smoke is probably water vapor...you were pumping down a AC system, right? Mine did the same thing...I've used it several times and always see what looks like "smoke" coming from it...as long as the oil is filled to the level line on the sight glass and you keep it level while it's running, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

It should come right off. Apply something like WD-40, let it sit for enough time to let the oil work. If the oil hasn't worked tap it with a hammer from different angles to help release it.

Mike: that can be 3 problems: Float set to high, to many pumps on the primer or a bad gasket.To set the float: take the carb out of the engine, remove the bowl and with the carb upside down the float should be a little bit up from level. ckeck on youtube for a video on how to do it.Try to start the engine with only 2 pumps on the primer.If still leaking send it back.Hope you fix the problem.Marcelo.

I have a 1992 Toyota corolla. I used the Rtec with leak stopper and oil. So far I have not detected any problems. The ac is running cold If the ac hasn't run in 5 years, chances are your seals are dried up. I think that using the oil and the stop leak would be a good start. However I would monitor the system periodically with a refrigerant gauge to see if the pressure is holding. If its not holding, chances are you need to take it in to have a qualified ac mechanic run a leak test and evaluate your system

I had a similar problem with a Bunn. It was a bad gasket. Question is: How bad is the leak? If it is mild, I would not worry about it. If you are having to clean up a large mess each time I would look for someone who services this make of machine.

I have a 1960 McLane edger and it never eats oil, you have a leak or a bad ring.

Sounds like the gasket is not seated properly (check first), or not tightened sufficiently to prevent a leak.

Carb float sticks, so fuel leaks bad... I converted to tri-fuel, no issues on propane. Before I had to take apart the carb each time and fix the float.

Gee...sounds like a faulty product. Shouldn't do that. Try a tiny bit of cooking oil on the gasket that is on the pump and see if it's just a dry gasket. If that doesn't do it...return it.
