why does the 16 oz bottle not say” to remove thermastate” , and the 32 oz bottle does? doesent make since to me. product works great! must say the money back guarentee made the differance to try it. cant waste money on a fixed income. also it means you stand buy your product. hard to find real quality anything these days.I will always recomend this product.this is my first time to comment on any product.its that good.im sure your products will go far.
Thank you so much for your comments!
In regards to the Head Gasket Sealer, you may use either product. The “Pour N Go” (16 oz./white label) is a less concentrated formula that does not require the removal of the thermostat or a flush of the cooling system prior to use. The “Pour N Go” was specifically formulated so that it was an “easy to use” product and through testing we were able to develop a formula that didn’t require the removal of the thermostat but still carries a high success rate. Whereas the “Mechanic Approved” (32 oz./yellow label) requires both the removal of thermostat and a flush before applying the product; the 32 ounce is the more concentrated formula.
The product with the yellow label (32 ounce) will give you best overall results as long as you can remove the thermostat and flush the system prior to use.
Feel free to contact us with any questions.
I have a 2005 Toyota 4Runner V6 and the thermostat is built into the housing and the hose connection, the thermostat cannot be removed. Can I still use the yellow label product? I have already purchased it. Thanks
The way you can get around the housing is by taking a old thermostat and modifying it so that the middle piece does not close; you may remove, or gut, the middle of the thermostat. By doing so you will create a free flow and still be able to have the full housing installed.
Once the process is complete you will need to replace the thermostat.
Feel free to contact us with any further questions.

Hi I have a 2010 Audi A4 Quattro. I have a oil leak ,a head gasket leak , and have oil in spark plug cylinder 3. I don’t know which of the blue devils to get honestly. Can I use more then one? I was going to use the oil leak, and the head gasket leak sealer pour And go one together . But I don’t know if thats a good idea. And is this product good for luxury cars?.
Wyan-
Thank you for asking about your Audi A4. Unfortunately, we don’t manufacture a product intended to seal a head gasket that is leaking oil. BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer is only intended for water/coolant leaks. A hard part repair/engine replacement may be your best option.
Thank you!

Can I use your Head gasket sealer after using Barr’s Head gasket sealer with fiber a mouth ago, that stopped 90 percent of the smoke at cold start? Just a little smoke at cold start now and a little antifreeze lost, but not in the oil only being burnt in the exhaust . Motor runs fine but don’t want to clogg up cooling system. Thanks Wes Neal.
Wes-
You would want to flush the cooling system prior to using the BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer. A clean, free-flowing system is what will give the product the best chance of working properly.
Thank you!
-BDP
Got an 85 Nissan 720 it’s got just a little bit of a leak cause I’ve noticed would I be better off draining everything and using the concentrated bottle then using the pour and go I’m looking to get at least another couple years out of the truck
Thomas-
You may use either of the two Head Gasket Sealers or the Head Gasket Repair. The Pour N Go Head Gasket Sealer is an easy to use, less concentrated formula that does not require the removal of the thermostat or a flush of the cooling system prior to use. BlueDevil Head Gasket Repair is also an easy to use product that is 2x more concentrated than the BlueDevil Pour N Go Head Gasket Sealer. Whereas the “Mechanic Approved” requires both the removal of the thermostat and a flush before applying the product; the 32 ounce is the strongest formula.
The product with the yellow label will give you best overall results as long as you can remove the thermostat and flush the system prior to use. However, if the thermostat is difficult to remove or you would rather not then you can always use the “Pour N Go” Head Gasket Sealer or Head Gasket Repair.
Thank you!
-BDP
Because of the situation I was in I wasn’t able to drain that much of the coolant from the radiator. I used about 80% of the bottle. Will it still fix the gasket? Also should I add the remaining amount later?
Jeffery-
It is possible the product was still able to seal under those conditions. Have you noticed any improvement? Please contact our technical support line at 888-863-0426 for further asssistance.
Thank you!

So do you put the thermostat back in after you run through the BlueDevil process? I’m a novice about automobiles and looking for very specific instructions about using BlueDevil w/a 2003 Ford Expedition.
Thanks
Joe
Joe,
I would encourage you to give our Tech Line a call at 1.888.863.0426. They are available to help you with any specific questions in regards to the installation process. I’d recommend doing this prior to installation. If you don’t get a live rep, leave a message! They WILL call you back, usually within a few hours at most.
-BDP
do you think it would work if my car doesnt start
Brandon-
In order to get the benefit of the product, the vehicle would need to be able to idle for a full 50 minutes, without overheating or stalling out. Unfortunately, the car would not be a good candidate if the vehicle is unable to start.
Thank you!

Hi,I have a 2001-2005 Honda Civic 1.7 l which is also know for head gasket issues….Is it ok to add Bluedevil if you don’t have a blown hg just so it will seal that area or would it get hard and not work…I’m afraid my hg is going to blow but I don’t have any issues right now with it…Kevin
Kevin-
Thank you for asking about your Honda Civic. The BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer should not be used as a preventative measure or preventative maintenance. It is only intended for water/coolant leaks. At this point, if you are not noticing a leak, it would not be appropriate to use the product. Hope this helps!
Thank you!

Does blue devil head gasket repair stop exaust from going in coolant?
Jeremiah-
Yes, the BlueDevil Head Gasket Repair would be able to treat a leak where combustion/exhaust gases are pumping into the cooling system. To give yourself the best overall chance of BlueDevil working successfully, in addition to the directions, you should remove the spark plug from the cylinder with the leak; this will be the spark plug from the cylinder with the low compression reading. If you are not sure which one that is, you may pull all of the spark plugs and will notice one will have a white-crystal-like substance on it and/or may look dirty; this is the plug you should pull. Leave that plug out for the 50-minute idle in order to relieve the pressure from building up and thus allowing the product to seal properly.
Thank you!

You say to pull the spark plug on the leaking cylinder, what about on a 6.7 Cummins Diesel engine?
Bill-
Unfortunately, this recommendation would not be applicable for your Cummins Diesel, as you would not be able to pull the glow plugs. As long as the vehicle will maintain idle for the full 50 minutes, without overheating or stalling out, and you are not losing more than about a quart of water/coolant during that 50 minute run, you would still be a good candidate for the product. Feel free to contact our technical support line at 888-863-0426 with any other questions.

I have a 2011 mazda cx7 grand contouring and my tailpipe blowing white smoke and engine light on,radiator light on did a code reading indicating it needs a coolant sensor would blue devil be good to use without taking my thermostat off,help please…
Jess-
Thank you for asking about your Mazda CX7. You may use either of the Head Gasket Sealers that we manufacture. The “Pour-N-Go” (16 oz./white label) is an easy to use, less concentrated formula that does not require the removal of the thermostat or a flush of the cooling system prior to use. Whereas the “Mechanic Approved” (32 oz./yellow label) requires both the removal of the thermostat and a flush before applying the product; the 32 ounce (yellow label) is the more concentrated formula. The product with the yellow label will give you best overall results as long as you are willing to remove the thermostat and flush the system prior to use. Be sure to follow the guidelines for the proper amount to use based on the size of your cooling system.
Thank you!

I have a 1999 honda passport with the v6 .I just purchased the Blue devil yellow lable and flush online but now I just realised that half of the engine has to come apart just to remove the thermostat. I can bypass the heater core but it is so much work to remove the thermostat that I may as well just change the gasket or is it possible to us the yellow lable without removing the thermostat?
Richard-
For best overall results the thermostat should be removed when using the 32 ounce BlueDevil (yellow labeled) Head Gasket Sealer. If it is going to be difficult to remove then you would be better off using the BlueDevil Pour-N-Go Head Gasket Sealer due to the fact that it does not require the removal of your thermostat.
-BDP
What do I do if water leaked to the oil?? Do I have to do an oil change before doing the flush?? Or can I do the flush and sealant before an oil change?
Alex-
Yes, you may still use the BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer to seal the leak(s). For best results, you will want to change the oil before and after the BlueDevil process.
Thank you for your question!
-BDP
I do not know a lot about cars and have done the test with he radiator cap off and it erupts like a volcano.I can’t afford the $2500 or more to replace the gasket, and I know I can’t remove all the stuff it says to so is it OK to use the 16oz or should I find some to help remove the thermostat and use the 32oz? There is no smoke /steam coming from the exhaust
Mike,
Thanks for your question about your blown head gasket. If your vehicle is a 4 or 6 cylinder than it should be fine to use the 16oz BlueDevil Pour-N-Go to seal your head gasket leak. If you have an 8 cylinder vehicle then we would recommend using the 32oz BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer.
Let us know if you have any more questions!
-BD Auto Pro
Should I redrain my coolant with the blue devil in it after the 50 minute idel. Before I pit in new coolant.
Bonnie-
The BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer only reacts to heat once, so it would be fine to drain the system completely and refill it with your regular 50/50 mix once the procedure is complete.
Thank you!
-BDP
Can blue devil, white label be used on a v8 ?
Karl-
Yes, but you will need to add two 16 ounce bottles of BlueDevil Pour N Go Head Gasket Sealer to treat a V8.
Thank you!
-BDP
Is it ok that my fans don’t come on with the blue devil in it?
Queet-
As long as the engine doesn’t overheat during the 50-minute idle, the product should still be able to seal. Feel free to contact our technical support line at 888-863-0426 with any other questions.
Thank you!
-BDP
What if you didnt flash the radiator and pour the bluedevil into the coolant will it do any harm
Cornell-
It wouldn’t necessarily do any harm in the cooling system, however, you would be limiting what the product would be able to do. The reason for flushing the radiator is to ensure you are performing the BlueDevil process in a clean, free-flowing system. Also, the BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer (32 oz. yellow label) is specifically formulated to run with water in the system. Feel free to contact our technical support line at 888-863-0426 with any other questions.
Thank you!
-BDP
I flushed my truck without flushing as well. It worked, but I still have a dirty cooling system. Can I still flush the cooling system to get rid of the exhaust particulate?
Dan-
Yes, at this point, you would be safe to flush the cooling system. We recommend using the BlueDevil Radiator Flush http://store.gobdp.com/radiator-flush-00204/. Flushing the system would not undo any of the seal the product already created.
Thank you!

Patty-
The BlueDevil Pour-N-Go Head Gasket Sealer is intended for use in 4 or 6 cylinder engines. You can still use the product in your Ford F-350, however, you would need more of the product to properly treat the system. Please contact our technical support line at 888-863-0426 so that we can get a better idea of the cooling system capacity and be able to recommend the correct amount of the product to use.
Thank you!

Do you have to change the before or after using blue devil?
Hunter-
I assume your question is asking about changing the oil in your vehicle in regards to using the BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer. If you are getting water/coolant into the oil, we recommend changing the oil before and after the BlueDevil process. Feel free to contact our technical support line at 888-863-0426 with any other questions.

I have a 2014 Nissan Frontier that is loosing all of the coolant through the overflow tank. It boils out. So I’m guessing gas is getting out of the chamber. It doesn’t state on the bottle that I need to remove a spark plug, tho I read it in the comments here. Removing a spark plug from my truck is almost as serious as replacing the head gasket. What should I do? Will anything work?
Kristin-
Thank you for asking about your Nissan Frontier. Removing the spark plug is an additional recommendation we make when the vehicle has the symptom of combustion/exhaust gases pumping back into the cooling system. Unfortunately, it is a more extreme kind of leak, usually attributed to warped/cracked heads. In order to get the benefit of using the product, you would want a clean, free-flowing cooling system. If combustion/exhaust gases are getting into the system, the system is being over-pressurized, and the circulation of water/coolant is being restricted. Removing the spark plug from the affected cylinder would give the product the best chance of circulating and sealing properly.
Thank you!
-BDP
I’m in the process of using the yellow label blue devil’s now. While idling, my 2014 Nissan Frontier does not boil all of the water out of the resavoir. Why is that? As soon as it hits the pavement, it starts boiling out, as if it’s allergic to the road. Lol I can’t take a spark plug out, I would have to take half of the manifold off.
Also, the entire time it has been idling, the radiator fan has not come on. It’s 85 degrees here today, shouldn’t it have come on by now? My Nissan isn’t overheating. Yet… But it’s not boiling out water yet either.
Kristin-
It sounds like it will be able to idle the full 50 minutes without removing the spark plug. Feel free to contact our technical support line at 888-863-0426 with any other questions.
Thank you!
-BDP
If you have water in your oil will the Blue Devil head gasket sealer still work
Larry-
Yes, BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer will still work if water/coolant has entered the engine oil. We recommend that you change the oil before and after the BlueDevil procedure to ensure proper results.
Thank you!
-BDP
I don’t no we’re to put it in my car
Denika-
BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer should be added directly through your radiator cap.
If your vehicle only has a reservoir/overflow rather than a radiator cap, instead of pouring BlueDevil through the reservoir/overflow, with the car off and engine cold you should disconnect the top radiator hose and add the product there; do not pour it into the overflow bottle. Once it has been added reconnect the hose and start the idle from that point.
Thank you!
-BDP
On my 2002 ford escape 3.0 I have 2 hoses at top of radiator,smaller comes from reservoir and the larger is just below it. The larger doesn’t go to the thermostat,the lower large hose does, and when I pull the large top hose to pour blue devil in water starts pouring out of the hole where it was connected. I’m just wandering is this where I pour it into? Every thing I read says top hose goes to thermostat n bottom to water pump but on mine top goes passed the thermostat and the bottom straight to the thermostat. Should I pour into the smaller hose directly above the large one?
Gary-
Thank you for asking about your Ford Escape. Yes, it would be fine to add the product through the smaller hose on top of the radiator. You would do so with the vehicle off and engine cold. Once the product has been added, reconnect the hose, and then start the idle from that point.
Thank you!

Thank you!
-BDP
I have a 2003 Toyota salara and for some reason my radiator pushing the water back Thur my overflow not the engine how do I use the Blue Devil
Josh-
Thank you for asking about your Toyota Solara. Based on your description, it’s possible that you are getting combustion/exhaust gases pumping back into the cooling system. You can use a “Block Dye Tester” to confirm whether or not that is the case.
BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer will still work if your vehicle is getting combustion/exhaust gases blowing into the cooling system and creating pressure. To give yourself the best overall chance of BlueDevil working successfully, in addition to the directions, you should remove the spark plug from the cylinder with the leak; this will be the spark plug from the cylinder with the low compression reading. If you are not sure which one that is, you may pull all of the spark plugs and will notice one will have a white-crystal-like substance on it and/or may look dirty; this is the plug you should pull. Leave that plug out for the 50 minute idle in order to relieve the pressure from building up and thus allowing the product to seal properly. Be sure to follow the guidelines for the proper amount to use based on the size of your cooling system.

So I have a Volvo s70 1999 and the engine turns but won’t start! When I crank it with the reservoir tank open the water goes and comes in sync with the motor. Is it too far gone?! It worked wonders on my ML320! I can’t believe how much money you guys saved me! You have an amazing product!
Pepe-
Thank you for asking about your Volvo s70. In order to get the benefit of using the BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer, the vehicle would need to be able to idle for a full 50 minutes. If the vehicle won’t start, unfortunately, it would not be a good candidate for the product. A hard part repair may be your best option.
We’re glad to hear of the results you had on your ML320! Thank you for sharing.

Do I have to drain the pourand go
Tyrone-
The BlueDevil Pour-N-Go Head Gasket Sealer only reacts to heat once. After the initial 50 minute idle and you shut the vehicle off, the product will not continue to react or continue to seal. You are fine to leave the product in the system, or you can drain the system and start over with a clean 50/50 mix, either way would be fine.
Thank you!

Hey I put the blue devil in my 06 Altima and it worked but I didn’t put the thermostat back in will it hurt anything if I don’t ?
Seth-
It would not harm anything to run the engine with the thermostat removed. The engine will run at a lower temperature so you may notice the heater does not produce hot air. However, most likely you will not need the heater during this time of year.
Thank you!
-BDP
Can it be used in v8 engines
David-
Yes, the BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer is safe and compatible to use in V-8 engines. The Pour-N-Go Head Gasket Sealer (16 oz. white label) is intended for use in 4 or 6 cylinder engines and require two bottles for a larger engine. Feel free to contact our technical support line at 888-863-0426 with any other questions.

I have a 6.0 diesel will it work on it?
David-
Yes, the BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer is safe and compatible to use on your 6.0 diesel. As long as the vehicle will maintain idle for a full 50 minutes, and you are not losing more than about a quart of water/coolant during that 50 minute run, you would be a good candidate for the product.
Thank you!
-BDP
How long do I wait to drive it after putting it in?
David-
We recommend at least two hours of a cool down after the 50 minute idle. After the vehicle cools back down, you would be fine to top it off with water/coolant as needed and take it for a test drive at that point.
Thank you!
-BDP
If I have water in my oil will it fix it to
Carl-
The BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer would be able to treat water getting into the engine oil. As long as you are not losing water too quickly, you would be a good candidate for the product. You would want to change the oil before and after the BlueDevil procedure.
Thank you!
-BDP
Does your heater have to be working for product to work?
Kimberly-
Are you saying that your heater core is leaking or that you aren’t getting hot air when you put the heater on? As long as the vehicle will maintain idle for a full 50 minutes, without overheating, you would still be a good candidate for the product. The BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer is able to seal heater core leaks as well. Feel free to contact our technical support at 888-863-0426 with any other questions.

Thank you for asking about your Cadillac Seville. In order to get the benefit of using the BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer, the vehicle would need to be able to start and idle for a full 50 minutes. If it is unable to do so, the leak you have or the symptoms you’re having may be a little more extreme than what the product is intended for. A hard part repair may be your best option.

Can blue devil work on a v10 if I pour two white labels in the radiator?

Two bottles of the BlueDevil Pour-N-Go Head Gasket Sealer would treat a cooling system up to around 4.5 gallons capacity. The product would be compatible to use on a V-10 engine.
Thank you!
-BDP
what if you can’t remove the thermostat like on a diesel it’s built in
Jamie-
The best way to get around the thermostat housing is by taking the thermostat and modifying it so that the middle piece does not close; you may remove this piece or gut the middle of the thermostat. By doing so you will create a free flow and still be able to have the full housing installed. The thermostat should remain “open” while BlueDevil circulates through the system. Once the BlueDevil procedure is complete you will need to replace the thermostat.
Thank you!
-BDP
I was just in a bad car accident and now I’m down to just one truck and it has blown head gasket and I’m so hurt that I can’t remove the Thermostat will the product still work good If I just do blue devil and then oil change will it fix the problem I hope so I have a 5.9 dodge
Kountry-
Thank you for asking about your Dodge. The BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer ( 32 oz. yellow label) will give you best overall results as long as you can remove the thermostat and flush the system prior to use. However, if the thermostat is difficult to remove or you would rather not then you can always use the “Pour N Go” Head Gasket Sealer or Head Gasket Repair. The products may be added with fresh antifreeze or water. Based on your cooling capacity, you should apply 32 ounces of BlueDevil.

One bottle of the BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer should be sufficient for your Chevy 454. There is a cooling system capacity table on the back of the bottle which would show you how much product to use, per the vehicle you’re working with.
Thank you!

Can you apply the Pour N Go formula and if your results work can u flush system and then add the Yellow Label 32 ounce
Ogreatone-
The product should not be used as a preventative measure/maintenance. If you are not continuing to lose coolant after using the BlueDevil Pour-N-Go Head Gasket Sealer, it would not be necessary to add anymore. Once the product seals, it would be a permanent seal.
Thank you!

In my Silverado the thermostat is made in the thermostat housing so can you put it in with the thermostat in place
Daniel-
The best way to get around the thermostat housing is by taking the thermostat and modifying it so that the middle piece does not close; you may remove this piece or gut the middle of the thermostat. By doing so you will create a free flow and still be able to have the full housing installed. The thermostat should remain “open” while BlueDevil circulates through the system. Once the BlueDevil procedure is complete you will need to replace the thermostat.
Thank you!

So I have a 2004 Land Rover, when started it makes a hissing popping sound from the head gasket being blown, I have used Blue Devil before with a 100% success. The question is will the big bottle fix the issue it being a crack about a half inch.

I have a 2003 alero thermastat in hard area does it have to be removed before using this product
Deedee-
Thank you for asking about your Oldsmobile Alero. If removing the thermostat is an issue, we recommend using the BlueDevil Pour-N-Go Head Gasket Sealer. This is an easy, do it yourself formula that does not require the removal of the thermostat. Feel free to contact our technical support line at 888-863-0426 with any other questions.

ii have a 2004 pt cruiser and i think i have a warped head will this help. it runs hot so will it still work.
Charlotte-
Thank you for asking about your PT Cruiser. The BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer is able to treat warped heads. As long as the vehicle will maintain idle for a full 50 minutes, without overheating or stalling out, and you are not losing more than about a quart of water/coolant during that 50-minute run, you would be a good candidate for the product.
Thank you!

do you mean i can use the blue devil 32 oz without removing my termostat? i already purchased the 32oz bottle…so im thinking if i will buy another? tnx
Roland-
The product with the yellow label (32 ounce) will give you best overall results as long as you can remove the thermostat and flush the cooling system prior to use. If you are unable to remove the thermostat, or doing so it just too time consuming, the Pour-N-Go Head Gasket Sealer (16 ounce) would be the next best option.
Thank you!

Is is blue devil gasket head gasket sealer good for V8 system?

The directions say my engine must be cool before using can I do it while engine is hot?
Arthur-
No, the BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer must be added when the engine is cold. We recommend at least 2 hours of a cool down since the vehicle has been run last before adding the product. Feel free to contact our technical support line at 888-863-0426 with any other questions.

Hi I have a 2005 Ford 500 that had a blown head gasket I use the blue devil and did like it said and added water and it went into the Reservoir will the car still be okay
Amy-
Thank you for asking about your Ford 500. If your vehicle only has a reservoir/overflow rather than a radiator cap, instead of pouring BlueDevil through the reservoir/overflow, with the car off and engine cold you should disconnect the top radiator hose and add the product there; do not pour it into the reservoir. It may be added into the hose or the opening on the radiator. Once BlueDevil has been added, reconnect the hose and start the idle from that point.
Please contact our technical support line at 888-863-0426 so that we can get a little better understanding of the vehicle’s condition and be able to make any appropriate recommendations.

Will it work on 2k suburban. I see a lot of posts saying it’s for 4 and 6 cylinder but haven’t seen it say 8 cylinder
Curtis-
The BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer (32 oz. yellow label) would be the best product to use for your 8-cylinder. Be sure to follow the cooling system capacity table on the back of the bottle to ensure the proper amount of product is used.
Thank you!

Ho I was wondering about the yellow label where you have to remove the thermostat. What is you don’t have a radiator cap?

Does exaust games mixing with coolant a blown head gasket . I truly don’t think so need an opinion I work on cars
Eddie-
Combustion/exhaust gases pumping into the cooling system, with no other symptoms, would typically be a sign of warped/cracked heads. Water/coolant mixing in with the engine oil and/or white smoke/steam billowing out of the exhaust pipe would be the tell-tale signs of a blown head gasket. Hope this helps.
Thank you!

I have an 08 Pontiac g6 water is mixing in with my oil and water is leaking out of a crack just between the valve cover and sparks plugs I was wondering should I use the blue devil head gasket sealer or something else
Cedric-
We’d recommend using the BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer for the leak you’ve described. You would want to change the oil before and after the BlueDevil process.
Thank you!

What if my radiator don’t have a cap but my reservoir has a pressure cap, do I pour it directly in the reservoir or in the housing where the thermostat goes cause water is going into my oil I already changed the oil too

I have a 2002 nissan altima 2.5 do I have to remove both thermostat
Cruz-
Yes, for best results both thermostats should be removed; this will ensure free flow throughout the cooling system.
