17 UV leak additive for finding oil leaks 17 21 12 2060750/2 February 2, 2021. Supersedes Technical Service Bulletin Group 17 number 20-11 dated October 5, 2020 for reasons listed below. Model(s) Year VIN Range Vehicle-Specific Equipment All 2000 - 2021 All Combustion Engine Condition REVISION HISTORY Revision Date Purpose 2 - Revised Service (Updated Step 1) 1 10/05/2020 Initial publication Customer states: One or more of the following statements: There may be a smell in the engine compartment. An oil leak is present in the front end of the car or in the area of the engine compartment. Oil marks may be found under the car. There is engine oil loss. Workshop findings: An oil leak can be found in the engine area. Technical Background This pigment supports the search for oil leaks from engines. The pigment of the fluorescent yellow leak search additive makes leaks visible and is therefore ideal for finding oil leaks. The UV pigment mixes with the engine oil and glows fluorescent yellow when the UV lamp shines onto the point of the leak. Depending on the intensity of the leak, the engine oil may even be leaking at idle speed; very small leaks, on the other hand, can also require a test drive. The additive can remain in the engine and is suitable for gas and diesel engines; an oil change is not required. Tip: Engine cleaning before following the instructions below is not necessary.
