As an FYI this is a brand new product that was under development & testing for just over 1 year. It is 100% stop leak sealer, which works with all types of oil and fluids as you stated. This same formula is going to be sold worldwide.

The 4 cylinder shows 1.5 hours labor. The V-6 shows 2.6 hours labor. This is right out of AllData for book time labor rate.

In part this is used as a replacement for ZDDP to help prevent piston scuffing. I believe it actually started in the racing area to reduce friction, increasing power. As stated many pistons now are moly coated on the thrust skirts.

Would like to get some more info on this as we have not seen any issue and the materials in the Bar's Leaks...

With the new CJ-4 oils you want to start watching it closer once the TBN drops to 50% of original. Many people seem to be running it down to a TBN of 2, but I certainly would look at more test data then just the TBN to run that low.

Here is heater core flush procedure. I hope it helps. CAUTION: The heater core must be backflushed separately from the engine cooling system for proper backflush water flow direction through the heater core. All engine cooling system flushing and back-flushing procedures must include a...

A stop leak additive won't be able to help on RTV type leaks, sorry.
