Oil stop leak additive
Has anyone used these additives successfully to at least slow the rate of leak in BMW 3.0 engines, or is this Verbotten?
I need to change my oil filter adapter gasket but probably won't have the time until Christmas, so a "solution in a can" would be useful until then.
Thanks in advance,
Bill

A solution in a can is a really bad idea, and is not in fact a solution.
