Just be aware that all seals in your engine and transmission have been subjected to this chemical. In my opion, all seals should be replaced when you do your repairs. Once the chemical impregnates the seal material(esp. rubber or neoprene compounds) it softens it and swells it, pretty much for good. Even after you drain the oil that has the stuff in it out of the crankcase or gearbox, it's still affecting the seals. The effect tends to diminish, but the seals will never be the same. Once you take one out and inspect it, you'll see what I mean. These chemicals are 'last resort' measures. Also, don't forget the valve stem seals, if your engine has them.
