I've never tried this or their Main Seal Repair product. My recently acquired winter beater ('96 2.0L Jetta with about 100k miles on it) has a slight oil weep from the rear main seal. I'd say it loses maybe an ounce of oil every 4-5 days. Enough to be a nuisance because of the small spot it leaves on the driveway, but nothing serious...and certainly not worth pulling the transmission and clutch just to replace the seal. Was thinking of trying a "seal conditioner" and I saw both of these available at my local Wallymart. Current oil fill is Valvoline 15W-40 dino which I'll be changing to Rotella Synthetic 5W-40 on the next go 'round in about 2500 miles.
Or is the collective wisdom to just use a "high mileage" oil on the next change? Comments welcome.
