Oil Leak
#3
Has anyone tried using ATP AT-205 Re-Seal additive?
Has anyone on the Org tried a re-seal adittive on main seal leaks?
I'm also dealing with the rear main seal leak on my 04 maxima, I was watching a Scotty Kilmer video on YouTube where he recommends adding an additive called AT-205 RE-SEAL ($10 on Amazon) for minor rear main seal leaks.
The description says:
The additive blends with oil in the system and is circulated throughout during operation, treating and conditioning rubber seals and gaskets.AT-205 is a plasticizer, a type of chemical used in rubber manufacturing to set hardness and flexibility. As a seal or gasket gets older it can dry out, harden and wear - treating it with AT-205 will rejuvenate it, restoring it's flexibility and sealing properties."

However, if you were not ever going to spend the money on having the rear main seal done as the value/remaining life of the car isn't worth it to do, and you are happy to take what comes of it (i.e. motor dies pretty quick after or only lasts another 10-20k kms) then might be worth a go.
BTW, scotty kilmer might be fun to watch and have some interesting stuff and basic advice that is reasonable, but he isn't any sort of a high end engineer nor do I think a balanced opinion on many things.
