not for engine oil leaks. lucas oil may also have a product that wld assist for engine oil leaks.

I think the steering pump squeal is what I bought it for. You may get better answers from bmw forums.

I think that this Lucas product's application is specific to power steering systems, the fluids of which are generally power steering fluid or automatic transmission fluid. It seems to swell slightly the system's rubber seals, O-rings, etc. I wouldn't try it with an oil leak, of which I infer that you mean an engine oil leak.

Lucas Power Steering Stop leak provided a very satisfactory result for my 1997 Nissan Maxima. I add fluid once every year or so. the alternative was a power steering rack replacement at a price ranging from $1000 to $1500. seems to me try a bottle or 2 at $15 to $25 and u can still have the major repair if stop leak does not work.

According to FCP website this fits your car, this is pretty much the standard coolant/antifreeze for most of the BMW cars I know of. I used it on my 2001 M3 and 2005 325ciIf you are doing a complete coolant flush/replacement on your car, then you need to get one jar of this and mix it in a bucket with another 1 Gallon jar of Purified Water (sold in any convenience store,purified water only, not spring water)

Yes you can. See this video from Youtube. This is how I fixed my leak successfully. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRpkklLqoKI

I don't believe so, Rick. Mainly for cleaning injectors, valves, and stabilizing fuel. I know a lot of people who like the Lucas Oil Treatment, though, for engine noise and protection. I just very recently switched to it, myself, since Slick 50 sold out and changed their formula. Too recent to know the results, yet. Kevin

I would give it a try since the viscosity would be similar. My unit could not maintain suction and it took a long time then it was very slow. Running the engine to heat up the oil and thin out the fluid.

No. This oil would degrade rapidly and most likely start forming a build up that would kill your radiator. Water Wetter as was previously suggested is the way to go, plus I don't think you'd pass tech if you had this in your rad.

I have a 2006 e46 M3 and I thought that this would be sufficient since it has the LS Friction Modifier. I was wrong. Forums can be wrong. You unfortunately have to go with the OEM BMW fluid which is crazy expensive ($48+/bottle). Some dealerships apparently let you fill up an empty gallon container since they only stock it in drums.

I would not want to use it say, after you just drove a dozen miles across town or on the freeway. It probably would be a little hard on the seals. Take the car around the block maybe or let it run for a few minutes to thin the oil a bit. Then do your oil change.

On "all" it's hard to say. I am a master certified Mercedes Benz technician and I have been working on them for 12 years. I use this kit for anything I've ever needed to check. You may have to get a little creative for it to work but I haven't ever had one that I couldn't use this on. On a side note, they do have Schrader valves in some of the fittings to prevent leak down but if you have to hook a few together to make work then removing the valves may be required. Also it won't work on Benz diesel after the high pressure pump but will work for the low pressure feed from the tank. Cannot answer as to the bmw side but would imagine it would work well.

I know it works very well in a '06 325i E90 Engine. If this is the item the cross reference recommends, then it should work.

This will not work for wht you need .this will stop oil leak .wht you need is steel Seal head gasket is bit expencive but it works.it cost about $90

This isn't a good purchase for a low idling engine. This isn't water sealed in any way. If you can seal the engine compartment from water, go for it.

Yes it does as per Red Line's web page. I used this in my daughter's 2003 325i with 100,000 miles on it and have put on 25,000 miles since the change. I can say that the transmission shifts smooth as silk. I highly recommend this oil for older BMWs.

I got mine to use as the transmission cooler and it does great. Don't know if that would be good for engine oil as it is a thicker consistancy.

No you have to put the oil after you receive it. If you don't use it in over a week the oil will leak out. So if you are not going to use it regularly drain the oil

To my knowledge no and would not be worth the trouble. It is very common to go bad and if other gauges are working and oil pressure stays around 0 without a knock in engine it is probably bad. You did not say year model and mine is an 04 and buried at rear of engine and requires a special wrench to replace. Nothing I would wish to do twice. If it were next to the oil filter as they once were it was simple. Old days they would leak first.
