Principle and effectiveness of the BARDAHL Engine Oil Leak Stop

BARDAHL Engine Oil Stop Leak , also known as Engine Anti-Leak, is designed to restore the flexibility of internal engine seals and gaskets, such as oil seals and valve stems. This product is distinguished by its targeted action on rehydrating and regenerating seals that have hardened over time, thus preventing clogging of oil channels or functioning as a simple sealant.

Engine Stop Leak is particularly useful when the oil leak is minor and located at the head gasket, without causing major malfunctions such as overheating or loss of coolant. However, it is important to note that although the product can help temporarily reduce this leak, the head gasket is a critical component that ensures the sealing of the combustion chambers and the coolant and oil circuits. In these cases, the effectiveness of the product depends on the overall condition of the gasket.

BARDAHL Engine Oil Stop Leak is formulated to act only on elastomers, without the risk of clogging internal ducts or oil passages. Compatible with all types of engine oil, it does not affect lubrication and does not complicate future interventions, such as the necessary replacement of the cylinder head gasket.

In the context of preventative or emergency management, the use of Stop Leak can serve as an effective temporary solution to manage small leaks until a more definitive repair can be made. It is crucial to understand that this is not a permanent solution for damaged head gaskets or for leaks that could worsen.

To apply the product, simply add the recommended dose to the engine oil pan, preferably after the engine has been warmed up by a drive of at least ten kilometers. The treatment usually begins to show its effect after a few dozen kilometers. It is advisable to regularly monitor the oil level to ensure that the leak does not worsen.

BARDAHL Engine Oil Stop Leak is a viable option for temporarily reducing small engine oil leaks, especially when they are located at the cylinder head gasket and the gasket is still in good condition. While it does not replace necessary mechanical repairs to critical components, it offers a temporary solution that can extend engine life while awaiting more extensive repairs.
