Liqui Moly Gear-Oil Leak Stop | 50 ml | Oil Additive | SKU: 1042
Spotted a few drips under your car or reckon your gearbox seals might be on the way out? The Liqui Moly Gear-Oil Leak Stop could be just the ticket. It’s been specially crafted to bring rubber and plastic seals in manual gearboxes back to life – think shaft seals and the like – helping to nip those pesky oil leaks in the bud before they leave a right mess on your driveway.
What’s it good for?
This handy little bottle is spot-on for all manual gearboxes, auxiliary transmissions, and differentials. Just a quick heads-up though: it’s not meant for automatic gearboxes, so best steer clear there. One 50 ml tube treats about 1 litre of gear oil, so if your gearbox holds more, you’ll want to chuck in two tubes. The beauty of it is you can add it whenever you fancy, but it really does its best work when added during a gear oil change.
Why bother with it?
Gearbox oil leaks aren’t just a right pain – they can lead to low oil levels and some seriously pricey repairs further down the line. This additive helps breathe new life into those ageing seals, tightening them up and keeping the oil exactly where it should be. No more constant topping up or fretting about leaks – a real win if you’re not too keen on frequent garage trips or getting your hands too grubby.
How to use it
- Pop the tube(s) straight into your gear oil during an oil change, or even afterwards if you notice a leak.
- Stick to the recommended dose: one tube per litre of gear oil, double up if your gearbox is on the larger side.
- It mixes well with mineral, semi-synthetic, or fully synthetic gear oils, so compatibility’s rarely an issue.
