Oddmanout84 Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 As the title states, I'm curious as to the application of UV dye to my engine oil. It shouldn't be too long before I'm ready to get the motor assembled and ready for breaking it in. Lately I've been contemplating the idea of adding UV leak detection dye to the first batch of oil I use to break in the engine, for the first 500 miles. I've made a few changes to the lubrication system, so this seemed like a good idea to make sure everything was running leak free from the get go. My question of course is that I was wondering if there is any reason I should NOT do this, like the dye changing the chemical makeup or weight of the oil in a way that would be detrimental to proper break in. If anyone has any insight, I'm curious... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
