would they really sell it if it was really that bad for your car? |
you'd be surprised at some of the junk you can buy  |
yeah too many places that wont think twice about selling you stuff that
a) doesnt work
or
b) harms the car
so is it just a case of dropping it into the oil filler hole? then flushing it and changing it when its done? |
yup what i did,
i dont know what the one i used was called but they had a few at my local motor factors.

Haha nice. Just need to know whether its worth using on this leak or not. Not too good with engines and just don't have the capital to get it looked at now
