ATP AT-205 Re-Seal Stops Leaks, 8 Ounce Bottle

Product Information

The next time I have a leaky machine, I’ll start with 0.5% to minimize risk. I can always add more. I added 25ml of AT-205, about 1% of the oil in the crankcase. I mowed a few minutes to mix it. The next day, I cleaned off the oil and grime. in the months since then, the engine has stayed clean, and it hasn't smoked on startup. Scotty Kilmer said AT-205 is watery and harmless because it’s a polymer. I’d never heard of a watery polymer. ATP calls it a plasticizer. A plasticizer is a solvent used to make a polymer more rubbery by loosening the bonds between molecules. This one seems to be diethylene glycol monoethyl ether. For those 5 seconds there are two lines of print below the chart. If you pause the video, they are grayed out and covered with ads. I had to replay that segment several times to be sure I understood. They say, “Recommended use is approximate due to blending properties with oil. No risk if slightly over treated.” My 35-year-old car occasionally smoked on startup. Probably the valve seals were worn or shrunken. Deposits from oil additives damaged spark plugs and O2 sensors. AT-205 would be a lot cheaper than having the seals replaced, but I was afraid AT-205 could expand seals more than necessary, and that could accelerate wear.

My riding mower was 25 years old. An unseen oil leak caused chaff to accumulate on the cooling fins, hidden under the housing. That interfered with the flow of cooling air. It often smoked on startup. I didn't know if leaky rubber seals caused either problem. Another update: The manufacturer of my mower engine recommends oil changes according to engine hours and doesn't mention time intervals. I waited two years. During that time, the oil continued to feel and smell okay. Essentially, a great performing sealer can save you time, money and give you peace of mind keeping fluids out of the engine after noticing a bad leak, engine overheat or white smoke coming out your exhaust pipe. The only time we should hand it over to a professional mechanic is when there are underlying problems diagnosed after the attempt of an easier solution. Just because a bad gasket is a crucial and labor intensive work, it means there are no other options left to prevent your engine from being taken apart. There are! I know my car’s head gasket has a rubber-like coating on it, so this is when ATP AT-205 Re-Seal Stops Leaks was recommended to me. What’s Special About ATP AT-205 Re-Seal Stops Leaks?

For 4 quarts, ATP recommends 6oz, or 180ml. The oil would have about 4.7% solvent. I decided to try 100ml (about 2.7%) and add the rest if necessary. I used a polypropylene measuring cylinder. It measures precisely, pours as neatly as using a funnel, and rinses better than glass. I ran a short errand to mix it and ran another short errand the next day. Then I cleaned the grime below the valve cover gasket, which leaked.
