ATP-205 works!

Very impressed, after one short drive the atp 205 cured my valve stem seal leak! I would get a short puff of smoke upon start up, not any more.
It only took one short trip for it to work. Highly recommended, it could prevent a valve from burning and gets my highest recommendation.

I totally agree that of all the plethora of moose pee additives out there, this stuff is actually effective for softening/restoring seals.

I put 1oz. in the power steering and the rest in the crankcase of the S70. Now, thanks to you, I'm reminded/convinced I need to get a bottle for my 855.

Somewhere I read that atp 205 only softens rubber and according to atp ruins plastic and teflon seals. Are there any plastic or Teflon seals in an 850 or S/V 70?

Valve stem seals on our cars should be made of teflon as far as i know.

I thought the valve stem seals are nitrile; anyways mine were leaking so what harm could I really do. As far as I am aware, our engines don't use plastic seals and didn't think they used Teflon. I never read that about it harming seals anyway.

I have been driving it for a couple months and it is perfect. Read the reviews on Amazon, it has cured many valve stem seal leaks.
I let the car sit for a week trying to see if any valve would leak past the seal, started the car up, zero smoke.

I don't think the valve seals are teflon, haven't heard that one before, interesting comment. The ones I bought looked like some kind of rubber-like compound, e.g. nitrile, FWIW.

I also like this stuff, have used it a couple times.

Mecheng,

Glad to hear it worked for you.

Just did a PS flush & fill & reboot. Added 1.5oz to the Valvoline Maxlife ATF syn. I refilled the system with. Hoping it will stop the rack from leaking. Read really good things about AT-205 + I was able to find it locally.

If it doesn't work, it could be because you added too little.

3oz is required for PS leaks

good luck

Really? Where did you hear that?

I based my dosage on what I found from an ATP video: 1.5oz/quart of fluid. This was the suggested dose for an AT. Could be different for PS. If so, I'm interested in hearing your information

Update: Just got off the phone with ATP support re: 205. He said 2-3oz/qrt. So I'll top up with a bit more.
