For the record, I'll confirm no errant smoke out of the tail pipe.It really doesn't work like stop leak in a cooling system which has particles of crap that plug holes. The "stop leak" stuff you put in oil just softens and swells the seals. If the rear main doesn't swell enough to tear itself up, I struggle to see what other seals would be adversely affected. My biggest concern would be the valve stem seals but I've never heard of anything untoward happening there so who knows? Seems that it would be pretty noticeable when the extra smoke out the tail pipe is visible from burning oil.
Interesting find. Please share results.A look at the SDS for AT-205 and BlueDevil RMS shows that they both use the same chemical.
AT-205 — Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether — CASRN 111-90-0 — >90%
BlueDevil — Di(ethylene glycol) ethyl ether — CASRN 111-90-0 — up to 100%
The BlueDevil is a lot more affordable and available, at least in my neighborhood.
I'm going to try some, since I was about to replace my RMS soon anyway.
um.... I'm good with what I have. Have at it.Hey, we all have brake fluid sitting around. Who wants to pour some in their engine first?
That there ^^^^ is interesting.I'm not admitting to or recommending anything but I do know that a couple of capfuls of brake fluid in the oil will stop a rear main seal leak until the next oil change.
Seriously?It might be a really handy trick on the trail. I've seen some of your discussions about fluid swaps to get you home (water for brake fluid, etc).
Yep.. I can confirm I am, um.. my TJ, is leak free.

Happy to report completed another oil change and continue have no RMS leak...
Take it for what it's worth
