ENGINE COOLAND SUPPLEMENT


Paul S

Recommended Posts

Hello All

To begin with I would like to thank every one who has helped and guided me in the past.

Over the long weekend I was able to flush the cooling system of my '99 STS and I am finding out a lot of my local Cadillac dealers haven't surrived the hostile economic climate. I need to purchase some of the engine coolant supplement pellets GM P/N 3634621.

Does any one know of an acceptable knock off product that I could buy at say... Autozone that will work in its place?

This is not a copy cat product; BAR'S LEAKS RADIATOR Stop Leak available at WalMart. I prefer the powder form which has "p/n G12BP" on the back of the packaging.

Bar's Leaks is/was the supplier for the GM part number product.

Be advised that GM no longer uses them. They tend to clog the purge line and heater core.

Jim and I have opposing opinions on them, but if you want to use them, the tabs are product code HDC.

I use them also, they tend to minimize nuisence leaks. When I did my crossover seals, I noticed that the supplement had found a home at the seals to stop a leak there, here are a few photos of the seals and crossover with evidence of the supplement

I use 4 supplement tabs on my deville at coolant flush, Only coolant flush. I use the barsleak. It was pointless as the dealer charged more for the same stuff with their name on it. lol.

Just dont overdo it.

GM FAN FOREVER
