Blue Devil OIL STOP LEAK Review: Does BlueDevil Engine Oil Stop Leak Product Work? How-To Use

- Does BlueDevil offer a permanent solution with its engine oil stop leak solution that is proven to seal your leak and get you back on the road again? I have a 1994 Chevy Cheyenne C/1500 with the 4.3L Vortec V6 engine that leaks oil, mainly from the valve cover gaskets. I purchased a bottle of BlueDevil Oil Stop Leak because it’s supposed to seal engine oil leaks permanently.
I also purchased the Blue Devil rear main sealer for an old Volvo I had. I did a video review of that product.

Just tried it on a 2004 BMW X3 3.0i, I’ve had a leak for 3 years. Never thought it’d make it this long. 171,400 miles. Drove it for 30mins after BlueDevil, seems like it’s working already! Have some old t-shirts from my last job. Going for a good drive tomorrow, and throwing old t-shirts underneath. I only applied one bottle.
Good deal. My results have been the same. It seems to be working.
Do u pour it straight into the engine
how did it go?
@@Wiz_Zza513 and no
Great
So far so good, this BlueDevil stop oil leak is working for the truck. Hopefully, it will work on the Volkswagen.
Did it?
@@dl6216 I have used two BlueDevil Stop leak products, in both cases, neither one worked. The best fix is to do the actual repair, which is what I did for the Beetle. Will do the truck next.
@@BuildYourOwn ,
I'm told that you don't want to leave it in longer than 2 months
@@darleneteply4293 I should probably change the oil lol. That might be the next truck video!
This worked with powersteering on 96 bonneville..was leaking not a drip and it sealed completely..i like it
It worked on my 98 F150 4.6 years ago , then I got rid of it. Ford had a KNOWN manufacturing issue where debris was left between head/block.
At about 90k miles it started leaking. BD fixed it long enough to sell it.
Perfect person to ask here, I have a 97 thunderbird with the 4.6. I’m gonna guess that issue goes to each engine, so if that’s the case, is it worth messing with the engine or should I just get a different engine to drop in? Or is that an easy fix by just replacing the gasket?
Whose here because AT~205 got discontinued? Might even work better than.. Thanks for review
Yep🤞🏾
Do you think its best to pour the bottle when you get a fresh oil change?
A added two bottles to my Dodge Omni and they made it spin the rear wheels. Thanks blue devil 👍👍
That's awesome!
I'm going to try this with the oil pump o ring pickup tube on a 04 Silverado
Thank you for awesome video, you just saved my day
Glad to hear it!
Very good review. Thanks for sharing.
after I pour this in my truck how long should I drive my truck?
Nice I use lucas full bottle didn't really improve. So I'll be using the blue devil product.
My buddy crashed my r6, cracked my stator cover, replaced that, then still had mysterious leaks on the other side of my bike, poured in a bottle and seemed like it was working after 30-40 mins of riding, no oil on my shoe
Is it ok to use rear main seal and engine oil leak blue devil product at the same time maybe the same month?
Anyone know if this would work on an 18 wheeler?
So here's a question, can you just leave it in there until your next oil change or does it have to be drained out after a few days of driving?
I think it’s recommended you change your oil BEFORE you pour in the Blue Devil. Which would make sense if you think about it.
@@michaeljimenez410 Maybe, this stuff didn't work on my Jeep Cherokee.
@@michaeljimenez410 I put it in a about 500 miles or so after a change. Yesterday, I also put a small amount of brake fluid in it. I guy I know who rebuilds motors said it may swell the seals. My XJ may be on the way out because of massive amounts of rust anyway. Too bad. Great vehicles.
@@MikeOrazzi I hear ya. I changed my oil yesterday and added this stuff I’m hoping my Tacoma stops leaving a puddle of oil wherever I park haha
Will it work for my 2002 Volkswagen Passat it’s smokes like a freight train bit as I romp on the gas, it quits.
Yes you need to put in 2 .
do you put the blue devil in and leave it in? or is it recommended to change the oil after running it for the recommended hours?
Leave it until next oil change
Will it keep working after a oil change?
Did you ever find out about the oil change after the "Blue Devil" use?
I'm going to do an oil change then put it in...
@@papasito___1 have not changed oil yet , but is working.
That looks like a quart of the blue devil so If you pour it in doesn't that over fill the capacity of the oil in the engine. So should you wait till you get an oil change and don't fill all the way and then fill with the blue not to over full the engine???
Thats not even half a quart
It ok because it will work it's way in to the engine
Do I add it when the engine is hot or when its cold
Cold never hot.
Hey so when they say drive for one to two hours do they mean all in one day or if you have a 20 min drive a day and then you total two hours worth of driving? It’s kind of unclear.
All at the same time.
I wanna use this for my 2004 civic non vtec. Should I change oil first since I am almost due for my oil change?
Did it end up working?
Thanks for the vid bro.
Ok i was 9nly able to drive it for like 20mins after i put blue devil in my oil but i let the car run for like 45 mins when i got home will it still work you think or did i ruin it?
Thanks.
It might be okay. Depending in the leak you might want to tackle the repair. I finally did on my truck
@@BuildYourOwn thanks bro.
Yeah i took it to the shop the other day and they said i have a small oil leak theres 9nly few drops when i leave my car sit for few days so my friend said try the blue devil instead of paying all that money to fix it so i did but it was raining so hard and my car needs shocks and strucks thats why i could not drive long!
@@BuildYourOwn because it started leaking again?
@@fatalflaw9807 It never stopped the leak...
Looks promising. I'll have to try it.
Let me know if it helps
@@BuildYourOwn I actually found some BlueDevil transmission seal on Amazon. I'll definitely let you know if it works.
I put it in today. I'm going to drive it for a few days and see if it works.
@@NotAnybodyElse did it stop the oil leak?
@@NotAnybodyElse did it stop ?
Volkswagen 20v turbo beetle? Is it a 5 cylinder?
Will it work for cars that burn oil?
How long did u leave the blue devil in the truck?
I never drained it out. I don't recall if I did my oil change video before or after this one. Either way, the instructions don't say it needs to be drained.
@@BuildYourOwn I thought it said driver a couple hours...for bad leaks driver a couple days. As long as it doesn't thin out the oil it'll be fine. I'm thinking about trying it, wondering how long to leave it in. My car holds 7.5 quarts of oil tho
I have a 2010 Chevy equinox and I got told told today I needed a engine gasket because the oil is dripping slowly. Will this product work?
Long term effect...clogs engine block ports???
That's what some people say. I never experienced that. Maybe because it never did fix the leak. I actually have a video doing the repair. Do the repair. In most cases repairs don't come in a bottle.
That valve cover gasket job on that awp engine is easy on the volkswagen.
I'll have to agree vw is easy to work just like old Ford's if you just put forward the effort. I have a 92 ford thunderbird and 2002 Nissan Pathfinder. My 4x4 pathfinder is way harder to work on but not that bad. Starter took me 30 min on ford took me 4 hours on pathfinder
@@JoshJackson13 4.6 in your thunderbird or the v6? I cannot get the starter changed in my 97 thunderbird in that time lol, that top bolt is such a bitch to get too. Until I get the time to get the engine torn apart, do you think this stuff will be worth it?
V6 92 it's hanging under the bottom two bolts. Then two bolts for wires. My pathfinder was above the CV joint under the valve cover gasket leak soked in oil it's why it went out
@@DoubleKlutchRacing snap on makes a tool that can get your to bolt out. It's like an extension in a L shape
My dad has a 97 thunderbird it's alot less space under the hood and alota electric stuff
Is it safe to fo it on a seeping valve cover gasket that leaks oil on a infinity 2005 g35 sedan
It's safer to just drive with the leak until you can get the gasket fixed. This stuff is hit or miss and situational it could mess things up more.
if its just that id do the valve cover this stuff is like last resort
@@johnlight460 yea those are cheap to buy but not cheap to install unless you do it yourself
Any thoughts on putting blue devil to try to fix the timing chain tensioner on a 09 Ford Expedition with the 5.6 3V?
I would simply do the repair. See my long-term update video ua-cam.com/video/lr9dXWqJcGw/v-deo.html
No bro, the timing chain tensioner is bolted on with, HUM, i wonder what,RUBBER GASKET/SEAL...trying to hold oil pressure to apply tension to the chain. It just started doing it, do you know anything about that? Think before you try n bash someone...
It's already apart getting a timing job done.👍 Out literally was just a question
@Jose Diaz If you don't know what your talking about just don't comment. My corolla has a similar timing chain tensioner and all that seals it is a small rubber o-ring seal, which can shrink or get brittle over time. Oh and "off label use"?? This is from the Blue Devil website: "Repairs and reconditions rubber seals throughout any fluid oil system".
@Jose Diaz Again you show your ignorance: Both in his case and mine it's a timing chain, not a belt. The tensioner still works! it slides in and just a little o-ring is all that seals it up, and they go bad. The leak is from that little seal, which is rubber and this product is supposed to fix. OP had a legitimate question, and your answer makes no sense.
How long to see olie leaking again ?
Do the repair. I don't think the BlueDevil products work at all. I have a 5-video playlist of all my BlueDevil adventures! ua-cam.com/play/PLZPFVgOzDxzWNDRWpQNrlyIiL9NaJ7fqN.html
Your valve covers are so easy to get to and just replace the gaskets would take like 30 minutes for both sides even cleaning the old gasket off. Just replace the gaskets on the valve cover gaskets they are cheap enough and easy.
You're absolutely right and I did actually replace them and did a video for anyone this would be helpful for - ua-cam.com/video/ivr3diACUaI/v-deo.htmlsi=ZIN_td-JsUCCfnuT
Does that can work in my bmw 325i 2006????
Yes, it can work on your BMW
Build Your Own: .. WOW! .. Thank you so very much for this excellent advice!! So sincerely appreciated!~! (:
You are so welcome and I am glad you found some value in it!
So after you run it for 2 days do you need to change the oil
The directions did not mention doing an oil change
I would I put some in my sonic and it blew oil cooler
How long do you have to drive your car afterwards?
Cutie Pie It wasn’t blue devil it was stp leak stop stuff and it made a small problem worse. Unless your cars already fucked it makes no sense to try this snake oil. Funny thing is I didn’t even use a whole bottle. I drove it for a month should’ve changed the oil right afterward, you can put that stuff in right before you do a oil change might work might cost you thousands.
Don't leave it in longer than 2 months
I added it to my GMC envoy and half hour later my engine light went on with a P0420 code??
You're burning oil. Thats why it threw that catalytic converter code.
You must drive 150 to 300 miles to get results according to manufacturer
@@insightandintuition276 constantly or like every day drivi till you get to 300 miles.
Are you supposed to put it in the engine or the antifreeze container because it says put it in the antifreeze container it's not antifreeze I'm confused
FIrstly, you are watching a video on Blue Devil OIL stop leak, NOT coolant. I DO have a Blue Devil coolant video. Here's the link ua-cam.com/video/y2WcdSmwcaE/v-deo.html
Can do valve cover gaskets on that in 20 min and the gaskets are less than the blue devil lol
Then show me how brother as I still need to get this done lol
@@BuildYourOwn Remove bolts in center of valve cover, remove old gasket make sure mating surfaces are clean..Put new gasket on and reinstall.Or sometimes the bolts loosen up and snugging them up stops them leaking.
Not so easy for someone like me that have a ford 4.6l modular that has two timing chains that needs to be retimed after a head gasket replacement
He needs the gasket in his brain fixed.
Is it safe to add this to oil? Seems risky.
My truck has been running great and the leaks seem to be gone.
Don’t do it, check out where the leak is coming from and just keep adding oil. Put this bs in a can and it blew my oil cooler, I think it was penzoil stop leak straight shit.
Is this safe to drink?
Just try it and let us no how it goes if your still here after ok.
@@poepoe2828 can u try it for us ..its nkt for sale here in my country
Lmao
Drink it and find out
How long the BlueDevil works?
I don't think it works. I have several videos using their products. In every case, I have just made the repair to fix the problem and that's what I suggest anyone do.
Plot twist...blue devil isn't actually blue at all
Nor does it really work
Your other comment would suggest otherwise. So, how long did it last?
Build Your Own follow up?
Can I add it to my Nissan Pathfinder 1998 and my 2001 e46
Yes, but always double check the bottle or go to their website
