Great video! We are glad we could help your vehicles head gasket issues. Another way to ensure no restriction in the heater core or radiator would be to flush the system with a cooling system flush product prior to installation. Flushing prior to installing will ensure a clean system with proper circulation to ensure a great seal on the leaking area. You can also bypass the heater core when installing the product.
Thank you!! You saved me a cost over 2300.00! I really appreciate your honesty. You should be a rep for Bars Leaks. Awesome videos. I have applied this 2 months ago and to date, no overheating nor cooling issues. Took the car to California and back to New Mexico and still working strong. Thanks again.
Thank you for your video. It was so helpful. I now know what to do if my daughter blows her head gasket! Your videos are always so informative and professionally done.
Just put mine in a chevy tahoe 2006 so far the white smoke has disappeared. It’s not over heating, it waa leaking fast then fell to a slow drip. It’s been 30 minutes since it was in idle but it’s not leaking that much anymore. About to do the moment of truth and see if it drives.
Bar's Leak makes amazing products! Used it on my customers, family's and friends' cars and no one came back to me with a complaints. Prestone's offerings seems promising too but I think I will stick with bars leak.
I used this exact product in my 1993 Ford Explorer, manual transmission, 4 years after application. The car went bad after 4 years due to an unrelated failure. I think the engine would have continued another few years beyond 4 years. My use was mostly non-highway driving less than a speed of 50 mph.
I am fixing to use it in my personal vehicle. It has a slow coolant leak in the radiator caused by high pressure in radiator from head leak. I have reviewed several of your products before on my shorts and RUclips videos please reach out if you would like me to continue to do reviews maybe we can work together? Great job guys
I appreciate your efforts for this video You have unique techniques...🙏 I have a question My Chevy Cruze 2012 turbo is mixing oil with coolant. Am I have to change the oil and then do the instructions....or add that head gasket sealant first then when I finish .....I change the oil ?
I recently found milky substance in the oil cap and dipstick, I was thinking that it was condensation due to the cold weather and not driving the vehicle very much, only about 20 miles a week. I got an oil change the other day and used engine flush to clean out the engine, so far the car runs okay, with no smoke and the oil appears clean. f the problem comes back, I may try that product.
Hello I bought a bottle to use in my pt cruiser. Since it’s been a while since you have used the product, is your vehicle still running great. I’m curious to know since we are in the year 2022.
The product will get you by if you have a small head gasket leak. It did last for a year and I would use it again. Just to know it's not a permanent fix but it will definitely get you by for a while.
Based on your other video, I used it, was getting coolant into my tailpipe, I must have had a very small leak but had one, I used 1/2 bottle (6.9qt) is all the coolant my car held, and after 2 days so far, working, my heater after the 1st startup after the 30 minutes idle the heater was blowing cold, after the 30 minutes shutoff period I gently drove it for about 20 minutes, heat was slightly warmer, it sat overnight and I took it a short drive, heater was better, but still not as hot, I am hoping and think as I drive more it gets back to normal. Thank you for your reviews.
I appreciate you for watching and thanks for giving such a detailed review. I made another video showing how you can unclog your heater core and that will fix any lackluster heat coming out of your vents.
well.... It got he home from the beach and a 4 hour trip home. Started having issues on way to beach while on vac. I had recently gotten water pump and thermostat changed and thought everything was ok on 2006 infiniti FX35. It ran hot, but pulled over and sat to allow engine to cool and replenish antifreeze and water. But was able to get to hotel. Took to local shop and they pressure tested engine and put on another thermostat. Still running hot... Told to replace the engine.. Ohh sh*t , There was a guy getting tires and he told he to give Bar's a shot.. Well , making a short story longer, I figured i'd try it and if it didn't work, i'd call AAA. It started out great but when I ran into traffic the needle jumped but when i started to pull over, it cooled down, this happened a million times in traffic. the hand danced up and down all the way home but made it. I drove it to local cleaners for pick up and it does the same. After 30 mins or so, needle dances up and down. Not sure what's next step, but I'm home and after 200k miles, I feel lucky. Outstanding car with no other issues even after owning 10 years. I'm the 2nd owner, Decisions....
Would it work on a 1990 Ford ranger pickup? I have all the symptoms that you mentioned right down to missing water from a full radiator,white smoke like a cloud coming out of my exhaust,and rough idling. I tried k-seal ultimate, didn't even phase the leak at all after I flushed the radiator and did everything it says on the bottle,$30.00 wasted. Thank you for your video. Please email me back to let me know if I should try the Bars Leak. Thank you. G.W.
He says a thousand times that it works and to use it in all his videos. Yes it will work in your ranger. Just follow the directions exactly as they say
I have a quick question, I put this product in about 4 days ago, would it be wise for me to drain it out now because I'm assuming it's already did its job so there are no reason for it to stay in the radiator should I drain it out and just put regular coolant
It depends on which one you poured in. If you pour in the one that I used in the video, the instructions say you never have to drain it. I would read the instructions on your box and follow what they say. By the way how did it
@@oxmanagain and the instructions they said you don't have to pour it out but I was just wondering if pouring it out would be better now that it did its job. It seemed like it fixed whatever problem I was having for the time being, my heater is not going up anymore but at the same time I don't seem to have any hot air, I'm okay with that as long as I don't have to fix something in the thousands of dollars
My mechanic says I have a leaking head gasket- my Crown Vic leaks oil which then burns on the heat of the engine causing smoke, but not coolant and the coolant and oil don’t mix. Other than that the car runs great. I’m not sure if this would help me or not since it goes in the coolant rather than the oil. What do you think?
I know this is an unrelated long shot and I have no idea what area you are in. Is there a resource you use to find Land Rover mechanics and/or do you know any in Colorado
Sorry but no I don't know any mechanics in any state and I wouldn't know how to find them. Other than just doing a Google search and then calling and maybe going on to a blog and see if anybody can recommend anybody. If you find anything let me know.
Im gonna be buying a 2007 chevy aveo with a blown head gasket for 400$ im gonna put this stuff in the radiator and drive it as if nothing was ever wrong with the car, i will give updates of my journey with my used and abused aveo. This car has never had even an oil change done to it since it was bought in 2007
I have a question or a few plus a description of my situation. :) But first I want to thank you and also congratulate you for theses great videos, for the patience and dedication. I also owe a Jaguar XJ8 but the 2005, the engine basically still have some similarities to the one you have. The thing is that I have this car since 2016, I have never experienced any overheating or white smoke but I had this recurring misfire on cylinder 2. This year I wanted to restore and customize the car just because I always wanted to do it but now I had the time. (I customized the interior all by myself, it was painted due to some fade spots on the roof, I replace the stereo, new tires, etc) and just like a week later, when the car was exactly how I always wanted.... The white smoke happened, misfire on many cylinders, both O2 sensors with low input, but all this without any previous symptoms, just one night (a cold night, not even during a hot day) I was stopped at a red light and when I pressed the gas all that smoke came out. That's when I put the scanner and find all the faulty codes (I have that option on the new stereo so I frequently check for codes and all was good just like 2 days previous to that night) I bought a head gasket test to figure out if the car has any combustion gas into the coolant, the one that turn yellow if you have the blown gasket. The results were negative not yellow color, always blue and I did it like 5 times on different circumstances to make sure. I don't know if you feel the same way but owning a Jaguar is something different, is not like any other vehicle because you treat it just like a family and even the people ask me about the car just like if they were asking about a family member. At this time I can't afford the repair, I want to use this product on it and I would like to know if this doesn't work, the head gasket repair could still be performed or its not possible after having this in the engine? I'm sorry for this long comment, but I wanted to be as explicitly as possible. Thanks again.
First off, thanks for watching and I appreciate all the love you have for your vehicle. What you did to your car is very impressive. If you used a blown head gasket test kit and it came back negative then you have nothing to worry about in that regard. If your check engine light came on and indicated that you have something wrong with a specific cylinder then most likely that's your only issue. What I would do is put one of those poor in injector cleaners in and see if the car improves or rides any better. If it does you know that your injector or the cylinder was just dirty or clogged. Then what I would do is change that particular cylinder spark plug and or ignition coil.
@@oxmanagain Thanks a lot for your reply and I'm sorry for my late response. I'll do that during this week and for sure I'll let you know. But yesterday I was working on the car, I noticed the upper and lower radiator hoses were collapsed when the engine is Cold (overnight for example) but they looks totally rounded when the engine is on. There should be some leak but I didn't see any signs of it under the car or around the hoses. But I also could hear some kind of unusual clicking noise coming from the thermostat/water pump area. I was thinking of replacing both of them because that could be a possibility I found a very good price for both of them. Again, thanks for your help. I'll keep you posted.
Best if you think you have a bad/leaking head gasket is to Rent A Free Block Tester from a place like O'Reiley auto parts and buy a $10 bottle of blue tester liquid. If the Blue turns Yellow you have a gas exhaust leak i.e. Bad Head Gasket.
It's funny that you said that because my head gasket did blow in the Jag because of a leaking coolant line. Trust me, if I could have used that bottle for 50 bucks and save $11,000 you best believe that's what I would have did. But I do understand why you would say that. Thanks for watching I appreciate it.

This is what I'm looking for. An honest opinion from someone who has used it. Thank you Sir!
I love this honest opinion. Great that you followed up with your viewer's questions. I'm about to do this on my car this weekend.
Did this 2: years ago on my 2000 Nissan Xterra, still perfect
I used the same kit $40 fixed the gasket leak in about 20 minutes. So far so good 🤞
How’s the car holding up
I purchased a vehicle with blown head gasket. Thank goodness it sounds great. Thank you 😊
Thanks for your help Oxman. Blessings to you too.

I used it on a 2013 Dodge Avenger and it worked great.

I appreciate your efforts for this video
You have unique techniques...🙏
I have a question
My Chevy Cruze 2012 turbo is mixing oil with coolant.
Am I have to change the oil and then do the instructions....or add that head gasket sealant first then when I finish .....I change the oil ?
Thanks for making these videos!
Did you keep the empty bottle and box for 3 years 😏?
I recently found milky substance in the oil cap and dipstick, I was thinking that it was condensation due to the cold weather and not driving the vehicle very much, only about 20 miles a week. I got an oil change the other day and used engine flush to clean out the engine, so far the car runs okay, with no smoke and the oil appears clean. f the problem comes back, I may try that product.
Thinkin about trying on a chevy Tahoe 2006 anyone tried it on one?
Great vidio seem like a honest guy , just seemed reel
A questions should flush my engine first before adding the seal the oil and coolant mix

So after the eight months when the product stops working do you simply add another bottle?
Yes.
@@oxmanagain seems too easy!
I'm not saying it is a permanent fix but it definitely got me a year and a half out of it.
The makers of these products shouldn't be allowed to claim "permanent fix" in their adverts.
A local mechanic has gone ahead to remove my thermostat, can i still use this product even without a thermostat on?
@@genesisobi9058 yes you can
I like your video's. Thank you for sharing your experiences and tips.
