Engine Oil Leaks - Fluorescent Oil Additive Method

Use the 12 Volt Master UV Diagnostic Inspection Kit to carry out the following procedure for oil leak diagnosis.

  1. Clean the engine with a suitable solvent to remove all traces of oil.
  2. Add Gasoline Engine Oil Dye 164-R3705 to the engine oil. Use a minimum 14.8 ml (0.5 ounce) to a maximum 40 ml (1.35 ounce) of fluorescent additive to all engines.
  3. Run the engine for 15 minutes. Stop the engine and inspect all seal and gasket areas for leaks using the 12 Volt Master UV Diagnostic Inspection Kit. A clear bright yellow or orange area will identify the leak. For extremely small leaks, several hours may be necessary for the leak to appear.
