Ok, let me say 1st that I know miracle in a can products seldom work or work like/as well as advertised. I also know the best course of action is to ID the problem and actually fix it. Ok, now that we have that out of the way...
My Sister has a 2005 Chevy Impala w/ the 3.4L( 130K )that is consuming oil and also appears to be leaking some( not on ground but you smell it burning after driving it ). It isn't super bad but I would like to try and see if one of these mircale in a can formulas will help( not fix = help ).
I have her using MaxLife in it now and that helped some with the consumption but the leak started after using it so I think it ate away some crud that was blocking a leak. Before it gets worse I would like to see if a pour in product might help slow the progression.
This is a car she helped her daughter buy who then decided she didn't want it anymore after running the miles through the roof and just dumped it on my Sister, refusing to pay any longer
. My neice abused the snot out of it and really neglected it. I got it cleaned up and did the work it needed so it has been dependable for my Sister over these last 2 years but I want to get ahead of this oil issue if I can cheap and easy.
When my no good rotten neice did this it forced my Sister to sell her low miles, immaculate, 06 Impala as she couldn't afford both. She needs to keep this car for approx another year as she is disabled and on a very limited income. It has to last a year before she can afford a new car and preferably without her having to do any major work. I really don't want to get into the expense of replaing gaskets if it can be avoided.
What product would you all suggest to see if they will help with this? Lucas, M0S2, STP, etc...
Thanks.
