I have a 2002 Ford f 150 and my radiator is loosing all fluid by the head gasket. Im not too mechanically inclined but I do know a little bit. I don’t have a direct cap to my radiator, everything goes thru the reservoir. How do I apply your product to fix my truck. I have heard many great things about it and want to try and save my baby!
If your vehicle has a reservoir rather than a radiator cap, instead of pouring it through the reservoir, with the car off and engine cold, you may add the product through the top radiator hose. Once it has been added reconnect the hose and start the idle from that point.
I have failed to keep the idle going so did not have enough time. I also have a F150 with no radiator cap and did the slow pour into the reservoir which is pressurized 16 lbs. – but only after the cap is back on the reservoir I presume.
If I try again by pouring it into the disconnected top hose, do I still pour it slowly or just add it all and reconnect?
Thanks. Still hopeful.
Joshua-
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. Once it has been added reconnect the hose and start the idle from that point.
Thanks!

Will this product work on a 2006 Ford F250 super duty 6.0 Diesel V8 turbo?? I know it would take 32oz of this product if it will work.
Richard-
Thank you for asking about your Ford F-250. It appears the cooling system capacity in your vehicle is 27.5 quarts, approximately, 7 gallons. For a system of that size, you would want to use about 64 oz. of the product, or 4 of the 16 oz. BlueDevil Pour-N-Go Head Gasket Sealers.
Thank you!

Will blue devil continue to work after it seals a gasket to protect it from another leak?
Jerry-
The product only reacts to heat once (one heat cycle), so it will not continue to react or continue to seal after the initial procedure is completed. Feel free to contact our technical support line at 888-863-0426 with any other questions.
Thank you!
-BDP
After removing the top radiator hose, do you pour directly into the hose towards the engine or towards the radiator?
MTT-
You would want to pour the product directly into the radiator. You can pour it in through the hose itself, or disconnect the hose from where it clamps to the radiator and pour it in through there. Pour speed would not matter with the vehicle off, engine cold.
Thank you!

I’m about to use the Blue Devil pour n go Head gasket sealer. I have faith in this product because I have already used the Blue Devil radiator flush and block sealer about a year ago and it’s still holding.
How long does blue devil react.if i put it in the system for 50mins and leave it in system.when i crank my car the next day does it react again.plus does blue devil pour and go seal cylinsr heads or block also
Trenton-
The BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer only reacts to heat one time (one heat cycle). After the 50 minute idle and the vehicle cools, the product will not continue to react or continue to seal. Yes, the Pour-N-Go Head Gasket Sealer would be able to treat warped/cracked heads and a leaking block as well.
Thank you!

Thank you for asking about your Dodge Ram 1500. You would need 32 oz. of the BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer to properly treat your vehicle. Feel free to contact our technical support line at 888-863-0426 with any other questions.

I have a 2002 monte carlo and i wanted to know if I dont flush the system or remove the thermastat will it still work?
William-
If you are using BlueDevil Pour N Go Head Gasket Sealer (http://store.gobdp.com/pour-n-go-head-gasket-sealer-00209/) you will not need to flush the system or remove the thermostat prior to use. This is a less concentrated formula that is made to be “easy-to-use”. The larger 32 ounce BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer (http://store.gobdp.com/head-gasket-sealer-38386/) is the product with the additional directions of removing thermostat and flushing the cooling system.
Feel free to contact our tech support team at 888-863-0426 with any further questions.

My vehicle needs the coolant refilled once a week (about 1/3 of a container of coolant). I let my reservoir go super low so that i could pour 32 oz (two of the 16 oz). I let my vehicle cool and removed the radiator cap. I turned the vehicle on and put my heater on full blast. I then tried to pour the blue devil pour n go (16 oz) into the radiator and it just settled/pooled and did not accept more than 1-2 oz. Any idea why that would happen??
Jess-
Were you getting combustion/exhaust gases blowing into the cooling system and creating pressure? Please contact our technical support line at 888-863-0426 so that we can get a better understanding of the vehicle’s condition and be able to make any appropriate recommendations.
Thank you!
-BDP
I have a different situation. I’m loosing oil and mixes with the coolant. It doesn’t overheat but the coolant is nasty.
Nino-
Unfortunately, we do not manufacture a product intended to stop oil from mixing in with the coolant. The BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer is only intended for water/coolant leaks. A hard part repair may be your best option.
Thank you!
-BDP
Top radiator hose for it slowly, if it doesn’t accept it you may have to make sure your reservoir box is low enough ?.
Steven-
If your vehicle only has a reservoir/expansion tank rather than a radiator cap, instead of pouring BlueDevil through the reservoir/tank, 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.
Thank you!
-BDP
How cold must the engine be to add mixture?

Will it hurt me to put blue devil head gasket sealant pour and go in my radiator if I don’t have any visible signs
Amy-
The BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer is only intended for water/coolant leaks. It should not be used as a preventative measure/preventative maintenance. You could cause harm adding the product to a system that doesn’t have a leak.
Thank you!
-BDP
I didn’t notice the directions said the engine needs to be cold before putting Blue Devil. I was rinsing the radiator so I poured it in when it was still a little warm. Is that OK? Or will it start reacting right away if it’s poured into a warm engine?
Deforest-
Adding the BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer to the radiator when the engine is warm could cause the product to start reacting prematurely. The product reacts around 150 degrees Fahrenheit. Please contact our technical support line at 888-863-0426 for further assistance.
Thank you!
-BDP
Do I pour it into to my hose or the radiator it’s self
Dusten-
The product should be poured in through the radiator cap. If the vehicle does not have a radiator cap, with the vehicle off and engine cold, you can remove the upper radiator hose, pour the product in through there, reconnect the hose and start the idle from that point.
Thank you!
-BDP
Will both blue devil head gasket sealers work together in a car radiator??
Stacy-
The BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer (32 oz. yellow label) has a slightly higher concentrated formula compared to the Pour-N-Go Head Gasket Sealer, and would require the removal of the thermostat and flushing the cooling system prior to use. They are not intended to be used simultaneously. Please contact our technical support line at 888-863-0426 with any questions.
Thank you!

Hello i my car was running hot a few weeks ago and i would hear bubbling when i shut the engine off, only to discover i had a crack in my head gasket. My mechanic introduced me to blue devil and so far it has not ran hot but recently sometimes when i shut the engine off i still hear a little bubbling.
LaVonne-
That is excellent to hear! The system should be bled to get rid of any potential air pockets in the cooling system. You can do this by simply draining and refilling the system. Feel free to contact our technical support line at 888-863-0426 with any other questions.
Thank you!
-BDP
Can I add the sealant through the resovoir or does it have to go to the radiator directly? Thank you in advance. After adding the sealant and letting it idle , losing some coolant in overflow is this normal.
Calvin-
If your vehicle only has a reservoir/overflow rather than a radiator cap, instead of pouring it through the reservoir/overflow, with the car off and engine cold you should disconnect the top radiator hose and add the product there (it may be added into the hose or through the opening). The speed of the pour will not make any difference as the engine will be off. Once it has been added reconnect the hose and start the idle from that point. DO NOT pour the product in through your reservoir.
Thank you!
-BDP
what will happen if you all did put in your reservoir
Debbie-
As per the directions, you are adding the product when the engine is cold. Pouring the product in through a reservoir/overflow tank would essentially be like adding the product when the engine is hot, which would greatly limit the effectiveness of the product. Feel free to contact our technical support line at 888-863-0426 with any other questions.
Thank you!
-BDP
I’m interested in using this product there is coolant in my oil and it’s about 5 inches over the full line am I going to have to get a whole bunch of oil changes or should this product work on that also

Hi so I have 2006 2.7 liter dodge charger I used the blue devil pour n go I don’t have a radiator cap either but YouTube videos said it was supposed to go through the resivoir well I ended up removing the thermostat as well and I left it out my car seems to run so much better …but what will the long term effects be if I don’t put it back in
Amber-
Thank you for asking about your Dodge Charger. 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.
Leaving the thermostat out will only be an issue if you are worried about getting heat. If you live in a warmer climate, you probably wouldn’t need to put it back in.
Thank you!
-BDP
I have a 2005 dodge ram 1500 3.7l magnum V6 would a 16 bottle be sufficient enough for the head gasket repair
John-
You would need 32 oz. of the BlueDevil Head Gasket Repair to treat your Dodge Ram 1500. One 16 oz. bottle would treat up to 3 gallons cooling system capacity. It appears your system holds a little more than 4 gallons.
Thank you!
-BDP
Which side of the upper radiator hose do you remove, the side with thermostat or the side that goes into radiator? Also will this help with oil leaking? I know it helps with head gasket symptoms. Oil is leaking around the head and dripping down and causing smoke after engine gets hot.
Daisy-
Either way is fine, as long as it is added directly into the radiator. Unfortunately, the product would not be intended for a head gasket leaking oil. Replacing the head gasket would be the only remedy in this instance.
Thank you!
-BDP
I just filled mine through the radiator reservoir, do i have to do it again or should I be good from this.
Giordan-
The reason the product can’t be added to the reservoir/overflow tank is that the BlueDevil has to be added to the radiator when the engine is cold. If you add it through the reservoir, it may not pull into the cooling system until the engine is hot, so it would essentially be like adding the product to a hot engine. 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.
Thank you!

I have a slow antifreeze leak from what I was told is a blown head gasket. The mechanic told me it would be $1399.00 to have it repair so it is a 2007 Toyota Camry with 190k miles I thought I would try it. Now before I have done anything the oil change guy said never put anything in the radiator because it will clog the heater core and start many problems with the engine. What is the the truth ?
Donny-
We have not had issues with our product restricting flow in any portion of the cooling system, including the heater core. We do recommend using BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer (http://store.gobdp.com/head-gasket-sealer-38386/) to help repair the blown head gasket in your Camry.

Can I use it on a V8 engine
Jeff-
The BlueDevil Pour-N-Go Head Gasket Sealer is intended for use in 4 or 6 cylinder engines and is able to be used in V-8, however, it would not be enough product to properly treat the system. Typically, you would need at least two bottles to properly treat that size of a system. Feel free to contact our technical support line at 888-863-0426 with any questions.
Thank you!

Troy-
Thank you for asking about your Cadillac Deville. If you used the Pour-N-Go Head Gasket Sealer, you may have noticed on the back of the bottle that it is intended for use in 4 or 6 cylinder engines, so it would not have been enough product to properly treat your V-8 NorthStar engine. Please contact our technical support line at 888-863-0426 so that we can get a little better understanding of your product application and be able to better assist you.

Top radiator hose for it slowly
What if it starts to overheat during the 50min idle? Do I shut off immediately and try again?? Thanks!
Mario-
If it looks like the engine is going to overheat, you would want to shut the vehicle off. The BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer only goes through one heat cycle, so it is important that the vehicle is able to maintain idle for the full 50 minutes. If you have to shut it off early for whatever reason, the product would not continue to react/seal after it cools down. If this happens to you, it would be best to allow the engine to completely cool, follow bleed procedures to remove any excess air, top the system back off with water/antifreeze and reassess the vehicle’s condition.
Thank you!

I used the pour n go version of the Blue Devil on my 97 Deville. The white smoke disappeared and the car ran as smoooth as ever. I did this back in March, but the white smoke seems to be returning. Can I use this again? I had the oil changed right away after the first treatment. I haven’t tried the big bottle because I don’t want to mess with removing the thermostat and draining the cooling system. Do you think I should take that route this time? Is it the better way to go?
Yes, you can definitely use BlueDevil a second time… Due to the amount of time that has passed since the first treatment this may be a new leak. The 32 oz. mechanic approved version will give you the best overall results as long as you are able to follow that set of directions. However, if it’s difficult or you are unable to remove the thermostat, we recommend using the Pour-N-Go again.
I used pour and go now my car smokes more then before I used it. Will it take a day or two for the smoke to stop I just did it today 07/27/2013
Thanks for your question! Please contact our support line for all technical questions regarding our products. 1.888.863.0426
my 97 deville also smokes more than befor what should i do is it normal
James-
We would recommend using half (16 ounces) of the BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer with a yellow label (part #38386). You will want to thoroughly flush the cooling system to help remove any rust, deposits, and/or dirtiness from the cooling system prior to use. In addition to the directions you will want to also change your oil before and after the BlueDevil process to ensure proper results.
Feel free to contact us at 888.863.0426 with any further questions.
1985 CHevy 350. Guess the head gasket blew. Heavy white smoke. Shut it off and one cyl was HYDROLOCKED by water. Had to pull plug and water spewed out. Also had water in oil but not a lot–I drained the oil and radiator and its been sitting a year. Question is, I can fill the oil up and water and get it started but if its spewing water into the cyl and oil too fast, and I have to idle for 50 minutes, wont I be flushing so much water that your product wont keep and also take a chance of killing my bearings?
Unfortunately, it sounds like your vehicle has gotten to a point where it is leaking too quickly and would not give BlueDevil enough time in the system to work properly. Based on your description the vehicle would have a lot of trouble idling for a 50 minute period. We would recommend going with the hard part repair in this case.
My 97 blazers oil pressure sensor went out causing me to spring a leak but I didn’t allow it to run low! I got it home and replaces sensor and pulled drain plug on oil pan. When i twisted oil filter off i noticed the swirl look of mixed coolant. When i cranked it ran for only 2 seconds and it died after slight backfire. When i got it idling again it sounds weak and has slight popping. It almost sounds lime an exhaust leak. Is it too late to use Blue Devil?
Jesse-
You should change your oil before running the engine anymore. In order to use BlueDevil your vehicle will need to be able to maintain an idle for 50 minutes without stalling out or overheating. If it can do so you will have a good chance at sealing the leak using the BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer.
-BDP

I am not mechanically inclined and realized after application and 50 min idling that I poured this product in the reservoir instead of the radiator. How should I proceed?
Sorry for the late reply. Have you called our tech line? 1.888.863.0426
I was rushing to use the product i didnt drain it or remove the thermostat but my exhaust smoke stop in my heat came out for 30 seconds should i let it sit overnight in check it tomorrow n replace my thermostat ?
Vell-
Yes, we recommend testing the vehicle after the engine has cooled down completely. The reason that we recommend the thermostat is removed is to ensure the cooling system is free flowing with BlueDevil in the system. You should not have to replace your thermostat even though it was left in for the initial idle with BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer.

I live in las vegas just recently bought a 1999 chevy suv k1500 4×4 at an auction. it was posted on the windshield that there was oil in the water. I drove it home about 18 miles and it started running ruff and had white smoke coming out the tailpipe. I drove it one more time about four miles than parked it at the house, next morning it failed to so I haven’t tried since. I thought I was going to have to tear it down and put head gaskets in, have limit experience did it one time on a 6 banger ran great when I finished. my questions are I have water in the oil and oil in the water white smoke coming out the tailpipe and have 2 16 ounces of pour and go to do the 350 in the suv chevy… im sure I can get it running for 50 mins after I flush the radiator change oil and replace a few spark plug wires will your product work for me or do I need to exchange the 2 bottles for the 32 ounce head gasket sealer? removing the thermostat will be a job but I will follow your direction to the T… im working on the car tomorrow and plan on Tuesday or Wenseday you can message me on facebook if you would any advice would be great help we are helpless without the suv and poor I really need for your product to work thank you for listening…

hello well today i decided to try the “Blue Devil pour-and- go” because i started noticing a lot of smoke after driving my 1998 honda civic. In my situation before installing Blue Devil smoke was not coming out . but now after the treatment it comes out more than before . i followed the instructions pretty well. my car actually stopped from overheating . but will the smoke eventually stop as well ?

Hello! I have a 2000 Cadillac Deville. I’ve removed the thermostat, and am about to flush with blue devil flush. I have a slight leak of exhaust in the coolant. I bought the 16 oz bottle of head gasket sealer, which I will only add to the radiator after the engine cools completely. After the 50 minutes, can you drive the car? Also, my car only shows a problem after 20-30 minutes of driving. Should I drive it mid-process? Thank you! 🙂
Sorry, I meant 32oz bottle. Don’t know why I wrote 16 oz 😐. Thanks!
Michael-
Thank you for asking about your Cadillac Deville. After the 50 minute idle, you would shut the vehicle off and allow it to cool down for a couple of hours. It is important that the vehicle just sit there and idle for the 50 minute run. You wouldn’t want to drive it and put extra compression in the system. The product needs a clean, free-flowing system in order to get the benefit of using it.
Thank you!

I used the pour n go, and I had so much air in system that it dumped coolant in the oil pan. So I’m sure your product didn’t get much of a chance to run through the system and is now in oil pan. What should I do? I spent 40 bucks, followed your directions, and now I’m out 40 bucks and my car is still not fixed. Is there any possible way you could give me another pour n go bottle with directions that will fix my leak? I am unemployed and can’t afford another bottle of pour and go. I would appreciate it if you could do something for me in these troubled times. Thank you, and I look forward to hearing from you!

Yes, you will need to change the oil before and after the BlueDevil process.
I have a ford mustang with a 3.8 coolant is getting into the oil and white vapor smoke is coming out of tail pipe. will the blue devil work for that?
Darrell, based on the symptoms you have described, your Mustang would be a great candidate for using BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer. Feel free to contact our tech support team at 1.888.863.0426.
Very confused. 2000 Ford Explorer 4.0 V6 OHV. I had a head gasket leak causing a rough idle/misfire and bubbling coolant reservoir but no smoke. I used blue devil after flushing the system twice with Prestone flush and followed the directions to a tee. Rough idle and misfire has ceased, but now there is thick smell of burning coolant and exhaust is smoking now like typical blown head gasket… I guess one step forward and two backwards… Will this resolve after a little while?

Above idle my Jeep Commander overheats. To eliminate the possibility of a warped head, I removed the top hose and added “Pour-N-Go” per directions on bottle. The temperture gauge stayed 3/4 toward hot during the 50 minute idle period. After that, with transmission still in park, I reved the engine to 2,500 – 3,000 RPM. The gauge quickly pegged all the way to hot. I do have a small radiator leak, but I made sure anti-freeze level didn’t get low. Would that leak prevent the Blue Devil from working, or is something besides a head problem causing my overheating?
Based on your description the product has not worked. It sounds like you may have multiple issues going on with the cooling system that would be difficult to diagnose without actually seeing the vehicle. Please contact us at 888.863.0426 so that we may assist you with the warranty process.

You may want to have the vehicle diagnosed by a professional to ensure that you actually have a head gasket leak/problem. If it turns out that you do have a slight head gasket leak then it would be appropriate to add BlueDevil.
I have a 2001 volvo s80 turbo…..I had white smoke coming from my tail pipe and car was getting hot and was running rough…I used the pour and go blue devil and it seemed to work no more white smoke car running smoother but still getting hot is it still the head gasket

hhave a 2002 Dodge with a V8 with oil with water and white smoke, I was wondering if I should use two treatments of your pour and go? And my Dodge only has a reservoir not a cap directly on top of the radiator , how should I add the pour and go?I
Don-
Yes, you would need to use two bottles of the “Pour N Go” to treat your V-8 Dodge. In addition to the directions, you will want to change the oil before and after the BlueDevil process.
Instead of pouring the product through the reservoir/overflow, with the car off and engine cold, you may add the product through the top radiator hose. Once it has been added reconnect the hose and start the idle from that point.
Feel free to contact us at 1.888.863.0426 with any further questions.

Hi i Just Purchased The Product Because I Believe I Have A Bad Head I Never Seems To Have Coolant My Car Over Heat In My Oil Looks Like Chocolate Milk . I also Have White Smoke Coming From My Tail Pipe , My Egiene Runs Slightly Ruff . Should This Help My Problem
Tierra-
Yes, the BlueDevil “Pour N Go” Head Gasket Sealer will work for you. Based on your symptoms you will want to change your oil before and after the BlueDevil process to ensure proper results.

Hi i have 99′ GMC YUKON I WAS TOLD I HAVE A BLOWN HEAD GASKET……I HAVE READ THE DIRECTIONS ,, AND FOR THE RADIATOR FLUSH ….DO I DISCONNECT THE END OF THE HOSE THATS CONNECTED TO THE RADIATOR….OR THE END THATS ON THE MOTOR??,,, AND IVE SEEN OTHER COMMENTS CONCERNING CHANGING THE MOTOR OIL …..IS THIS ALSO PART OF THE PROCEDURE ??
Stacy-
You may add the flush directly through the radiator cap, if your vehicle has one. If the vehicle only has a reservoir, then you may add the flush the the top radiator hose (where it connects to the radiator).
If you notice any milkiness or signs of water/antifreeze in your motor oil then we strongly recommend changing the oil before and after the BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer process.
Feel free to contact our tech support team at 888.863.0426 with any questions along the way.

What if I already poured blue devil into the reservoir. Will it still work ?
Tim-
You wouldn’t want to add the product in through the reservoir because, as per the directions, you are to add the product to the system when the engine is cold. Water/coolant is only being pulled from the reservoir as needed, so it may not have pulled into the system until the engine was hot. Are you still noticing the same symptoms? Feel free to contact our technical support line at 888-863-0426 if you have any questions.
Thank you!

Sir-
There are a number of reasons your vehicle may be overheating. We have previously posted an article about this exact situation, it can be seen here: https://gobdp.com/blog/car-overheating/
Once you have had a chance to further diagnose why your vehicle is overheating you will be able to better attack the problem at hand.

I used the mechanic approved blue devil head gasket sealer and it worked very well. I only used 16 fl oz per the instructions and still have half the bottle left. A few weeks later i think i may have a small leak again. I would like to use the rest of the bottle for a second treatment, but I don’t feel like doing radiator flush for my system again. Since I already did this flush a few weeks ago is it necessary for me to do this again? Can I just remove my thermostat and add blue devil? Also since i already replaced my thermostat with a brand new one after the first treatment could I re-install this one after the second treatment?
Could I also use the pour N go version after having treated with the mechanic approved product the first time?
I own a 2004 v6 3.0 Jaguar s type
Thanks
Benjamin-
You will still want to flush the system prior to adding a 2nd application to ensure proper results. You will again remove the thermostat for the idling, with BlueDevil, and then you may re-install that thermostat once the idle is complete and the engine has cooled down.
If you decide to use the “Pour N Go” then you would not have to flush the system or remove the thermostat prior to use.

I used your Blue Devil pour and go about follow instructions and said to let it run for 50 minutes at idle wish I did and also said to let engine cool for 2 hours after would it be better to let vehicle set all night
Ronald-
Letting the vehicle cool for 2 hours after the 50 minute idle would be sufficient. It doesn’t have to set overnight.
Thank you!

I have an 1987 ford f150..it has milky oil and white smoke…i have the 16 oz. blue devil sealer. Do i have to remove the thermostar or can i just drain the antifreze and go from there?
Steele-
The 16 ounce BlueDevil “Pour N Go” Head Gasket Sealer does not require you to remove the thermostat; it is an easy-to-use product. You can simply drain enough antifreeze so that you can pour the BlueDevil in.
Thank You!

Is this product safe for oil? I have freeze plugs that are leaking, and the geniuses who designed this engine decided to put the freeze plugs in the same chamber as the timing chain where oil is at. Needless to say, there is a relatively low concentration of coolant with the oil, but the oil is leaking because there is a crack in the oil pan. Anyway, will this product seal my freeze plugs if there is hot oil running on the freeze plug all the time, or do I have to do this fix with a DIY solution?
Calvin-
The Head Gasket Sealer should never be added to engine oil. Unfortunately, we do not manufacture a product that will help you out in this instance.
All the Best!

I have a 2006 Dodge Charger Daytona with the 5.7 Hemi. Is your product safe for that engine?

Do my car need 2 b running to use this
Tiffany-
Yes, the vehicle needs to idle for a full 50 minutes to use the BlueDevil Pour N Go.
Thanks!

Will this work if my engine is burning oil? (Light Blue Smoke)
David-
The BlueDevil Pour-N-Go Head Gasket Sealer is specifically intended to stop coolant loss. Unfortunately, it will have no effect on burning oil.
Thank you!

Can I drive my car immediately after adding blue devil and leTting it idle for 50 minutes?
Vernon-
It is best to allow the vehicle to completely cool down (at least 2 hours) before taking it for a drive.
Thank You!
-BDP
What if I didn’t let it sit for 2 houres and drove it right after it ideled for 50 min and it over spilled

Hello my name is Tyler, i have a 2005 subaru impreza wrx H4 2.0. when im trying to hit into my boost hard around 4rpm. My car starts to jump, but im pretty sure i know why with that. But my car it running rich, i dont have smoke coming out of the exhuast or a wet drip. But i do have a small bit of coolant in my oil. An my oil cap has a milky look too it. I also keep using oil fast. Could all of this have to do with a head gasket problem???? Or should i say f**k it and buy new trans and motor.
Tyler,
Thanks for your question about your WRX. They are great cars and a lot of fun to drive, but they are known to blow head gaskets especially if you drive them hard. Turbo cars in generally use more oil than naturally aspirated cars so your oil consumption might not be unusual. As for the coolant in your oil, that’s a good indication that you have blown head gasket even if you don’t have white smoke from the exhaust. BlueDevil Head Gasket Sealer (available here: http://store.gobdp.com/head-gasket-sealer-38386/) is guaranteed to seal your head gasket leak and get you more life out of your car.
The jumping could be related to the blown head gasket, but it may also be in indication that your O2 sensor has gone bad, you need new spark plugs or have other fuel system problems. You might also try BlueDevil Fuel System Cleaner to make sure you don’t have any carbon build up from running rich and that your injectors are firing properly. You can pick up BlueDevil Fuel System Cleaner here: http://store.gobdp.com/fuel-system-cleaner-00202/
Hi , I have a Subaru Legacy GT 06 , in the morning when i turn on the car, this appear like if it works only with 3 cylinders and a few sec , the car been normal, i know that the car has a leak , and all the problem mentioned above, but the question is:
Can i drive so fast (hight rpm) after of the treatment ,? I mean the BD can resist the extreme driving?
Jorge-
Thank you for asking about your Subaru Legacy. Once the product seals, it would be a permanent seal. You would be fine to drive the vehicle normally after successful results were achieved. Feel free to contact our technical support line at 888-863-0426 with any other questions.
Thank you!
