Using K-Seal: Step-by-Step Instructions
Looking for clear K-Seal instructions? Follow our easy guide below to learn exactly how to use K-Seal for effective cooling system repairs:
Step 1: Shake and pour the bottle
- Shake the K-Seal bottle vigorously to ensure the contents are well-mixed.
- How much K-Seal to use: Add the entire bottle to your radiator or header/expansion tank.
- Important: When adding to the radiator, avoid pouring directly onto the radiator core to prevent potential damage.
Compatibility
- K-Seal products work with all types of antifreeze or coolant and won’t be impacted by additives already in your cooling system.
- For smaller cooling systems, such as motorcycles, you can use just a portion of the bottle. Ensure the product is thoroughly mixed before adding it.

Step 2: Run the engine up to operating temperature
- Start the engine and let it reach its normal operating temperature.
- The fastest way is to take your vehicle for a gentle drive.
- Alternatively, let the engine idle until the temperature gauge indicates normal levels.
Step 3: Either replace the cooling system contents or leave K-Seal in the system
After K-Seal has completed its repair, there’s no need to leave it in the system unless you prefer to.
- Option 1: Drain and refill the cooling system with fresh contents.
- Option 2: Leave the K-Seal product in the system, as it won’t cause any harm.
