Questions & Answers

Upon adding this product to machine oil, how long will you be able to see its effect?

The compound was clearly visible in motor There is no reason to worry about it until oil changes. You might want this if you're looking for a leak that's slow.

Is it possible to use this dye in coolant or antifreeze as well?

There is only one type of oil that can be used in this product. If you intend to use this in your cooling system, I wouldn't recommend it.

According to the manufacturer, 1.25 oz of water is to be diluted with 1 oz of milk. The dyeing process This is the Lite version of Each 12 quarts of automatic transmission fluid should contain three ounces of 3400 (fluorescent leak detection dye).

When oil is already glowing under a black light how does this benefit us?

Diesel engines that have a lot of leaks can be detected using black light. It is not possible to see any glow in engine oil, diesel fuel, or coolant under black light (at least not the ones we use).

IT'S NOT THE SAME AT ALL! A lot of years have passed since we used this dye
3/5

We have increased the number of bottles we are using by four to see if that will resolve the problem. The bottles we received did not illuminate the oil as before, so we are trying to get them working correctly. This appears to be a recurring issue, since we have tested it on three vehicles with the same lack of performance. Asked Tracer about a faulty product. They assured me that they will not stand behind products not sold through their authorized distributors. Amazon is not one of these approved distributors. Buy this item and do not use it. I am not sure you will get what you want.

I really like the way this stuff works! My differential was leaking, but I was still able to fix it
5/5

I really like the way this stuff works! It seems that I had a differential leak, but it was hard for me to determine the source of the leak. As far as I was concerned, it was probably the rear pinion seal, but I didn't want to take the rear end apart until I knew you were right. A week after I added the Tracer Products leak detection fluid to the differential, I topped off the differential fluid, thoroughly cleaned the differential housing, and drove the vehicle around for a while. With a UV flashlight under the truck, I just got under the truck to check for leaks in a dark garage and the Tracer Products leak detection fluid made the leaks There was no doubt in my mind that I had found the source of the leak! I had no problem with the pinion seal The gasket on the third member was leaking It's quite simple and less complex than it sounds Quite an expensive repair compared to the seal on the pinion. In this way, this product was able to save me time and money. I like what I see!.

This is a great tool to find My car was leaking oil at the time, so I used this fluorescent leak testing fluid to locate the source
5/5

The leak was coming from the power steering line. I was able to identify the source of the leak and resolve it promptly. In addition to this, it can be used for other purposes. Having yellow glasses that allow you to see the fluorescent dye more clearly, I got a UV flashlight with a fluorescent dye and a UV flashlight.

I love how well it works
4/5

The tool was very helpful in tracking down a leak in the oil pan gasket as well as in the With a good blacklight flashlight and some of those yellow glasses, I discovered that the blacklight alone worked better than any other kind of light. The trick is to use a little at a time. To date, I have only used one bottle, and I have another five waiting for the day I need to use them.

Glows in the dark when leaks are present! If you have a UV light, this stuff works great
5/5

The software aided me in tracking down an oil leak whose origin eluded me for some time. It would have been ideal to have purchased it earlier. While it does state that it's safe for oil, the color of the oil will change slightly to yellow. Just to be on the safe side, I changed the oil after repairing the leak. The predator's blood glows when you shine UV light on this stuff. I love it.

I love it! The product works great but you need to order a pair of tracer UV glasses with it
5/5

A leak was found in the oil pan of a 1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport. Through measuring the tracer fluid and using a black light, we could see the leak very clearly in the side of the oil pan. It has been months since we noticed a leak, but our mechanic could not detect I love this product! It was the perfect solution to my problem!.

A leak in the oil was discovered
5/5

It has started to use a lot of oil in one of my experimental aircraft. The hatch was blowing out of the vent, but I wasn't sure if it was leaking or if it was blowing out of the case. Half a bottle of wine was dumped into my hands and I took off. You closed the hangar doors and used the $12 at this point. There are 95 black-colored cars In the process, I discovered the crack in my oil tank thanks to the flashlight I bought at the same time. I was able to save the day with this kit. It was easy to drain the oil and fix the crack once I had I like it. Leaving it in my engine for the full 40 hours before changing the oil is my only concern. Despite the fact that it states it is compatible, is it actually? No idea why it worked, but it did. There's no way it can be used on aircraft with certificates.

This is an awesome product! Applied the die as it should have, one not all oils shine under UV light, but the one applied to the die was bright green
5/5

My boat was saved just by taking a picture because it allowed me to find an oil leak in It is not necessary to wear yellow glasses, and any decent UV light will do.
