The Case of The “ Mysterious Oil Consumption”

Vehicle Using Too Much Oil, But No Evidence of A Leak On The Ground

The solution to this case is elementary, my dear Counterman. The culprit is usually extra oil leaking past the valve seals and burning in the combustion chamber. The most common perpetrator of vehicle oil consumption is valve seals that have shrunk, hardened or cracked due to engine heat, age, high mileage or inactivity during vehicle storage.

Counterman to the rescue.
If the vehicle isn’t burning more than one quart of oil per day, you can solve this case quickly. You have the fast, cost-effective remedy that can save the engine in distress right on your shelf-Bar’s Leaks Valve Seal™ Oil Consumption Repair (P/N VS-1). This makes you the hero, because repairing seals instead of replacing them saves your customers time and money.

You can save the day-and the engine.
Installing Bar’s Leaks Professional Valve Seal Oil Consumption Repair is the fastest, safest way to repair valve stem leaks, stop blue exhaust smoke and reduce oil consumption-without the big expense of taking the engine apart-guaranteed. Speaking of expensive, excess oil burning in the combustion chamber and can damage the vehicle’s oxygen sensor and catalytic converter, leading to emissions repairs running from $500 to $1,500 or more.

The solution to this case.
Valve Seal Oil Consumption Repair contains a specially engineered valve seal additive that restores valve seal size, flexibility and elasticity. Coupled with this additive is an advanced seal polymer that builds a polymeric film around the valve seal to help prevent excess oil bypassing the seal during normal engine operation. It’s a synthetic blend that works with gasoline and diesel engines, and all types of motor oils. Added to the vehicle’s existing engine oil, it starts to work within 15 minutes of driving or idling the vehicle. One 16.9 oz. bottle of Valve Seal Oil Consumption Repair treats engines with oil capacities of 4.5 to 7 quarts. Smaller oil systems can be treated with half a bottle. Use one bottle for every 6 quarts of oil in larger systems. Like all Bar’s Leaks products, Valve Seal Oil Consumption Repair is made in the U.S.A.
