"Never put a solvent additive or stop leak in you oil or transmission! I'll give my reasons as you read on.
First, lets begin by giving those who favor solvent-based additives their say.
Some say, the solvents in stop leaks and motor flushes containing "Xylene or xylol" - are OK for you engine and transmission. They are the good sellers at parts stores.
