my 94 atx has 264,000kms on it and i've been using castrol gtx high mileage, a bottle of lucas stabilizer and a can of engine restorer, im just wondering if any one has used these together or on their own, am i just wasting $?
semi true. i used a bottle to fix a rad leak and have no issues.No bottle has ever fixed an issue in my car. Only wrenches.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha <-----equal to the amount of hours you will spend on the replacing of your heatercore someday and the reduced water jacket sizes that will cause premature engine failure.vtec-this said:semi true. i used a bottle to fix a rad leak and have no issues.No bottle has ever fixed an issue in my car.

exactly. those things cause more harm then good. i use to work in a shop and dealt with many "bottle fixes". person had a leaking thermostat housing, so they added stop leak. car started leaking again and brought it in. stuff gummed up the radiator and thermostat (stuck open) so instead of a $50 repair, it came to like $600.malachi said:hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha <-----equal to the amount of hours you will spend on the replacing of your heatercore someday and the reduced water jacket sizes that will cause premature engine failure.vtec-this said:semi true. i used a bottle to fix a rad leak and have no issues.No bottle has ever fixed an issue in my car.

Stop leaks are the equivelent of using duct tape on the shattered windshield. They are sold to people who are to ignorant to fix their cars right. Unless you mean the two tube plastic paste to patch the hole. Those are not going to "harm" anything, but end up leaking in the end someday.
I am not trying to bag on you but even I, the greatest cheapo fixer I have even known, won't use it, it must be bad.
