HOLLY, Mich., March 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Modern cars, trucks and SUVs are built to last, and Americans are hanging onto them longer than ever. The average age of vehicles in the U.S. hit a new record of 12.8 years in 2025, according to S&P Global Mobility. But as the years — and the miles — add up, components wear out, and engines start to show their age. Oil pressure drops. Compression fades. Oil spots start showing up on the driveway, fuel economy heads south, smoke billows from the exhaust, and ticking or knocking comes from under the hood. Worries about repair bills loom. Fortunately, Bar’s Leaks® High Mileage Engine Repair (p/n 1000) restores engine performance in just one pour.
“Generally, if an older, high-mileage vehicle has one engine problem, an oil leak, for example, it probably has others, since many of the issues stem from the same cause: worn cylinders, rings, bearings or seals,” explains Clay Parks, Bar’s Leaks vice president of development. “Most people who own older vehicles don’t want to pay an expensive repair bill or buy a bunch of different additives. That’s why we developed a unique dual action formula. Bar’s Leaks High Mileage Engine Repair is guaranteed to seal and stop oil leaks, restore engine performance and power, and provide ongoing protection.”
High Mileage Engine Repair is a proprietary blend of high-tech additives including friction modifiers, stop leaks, stabilizers, viscosity improvers and seal conditioners. It does the work of six products in a single dual-cavity bottle: engine treatment, oil treatment, smoke treatment, engine oil stop leak, oil stabilizer and compression builder. This unique product works with all types of engine oil (conventional, synthetic and high-mileage blends) to:
- Stop oil leaks
- Restore lost compression
- Increase horsepower
- Reduce engine noise like knocking and ticking
- Minimize exhaust smoke
- Prevent future leaks
Bar’s Leaks High Mileage Engine Repair is easy for anyone to use, with no tools or automotive expertise required. Simply pour it into the crankcase during an oil change or anytime the oil is low. Most drivers notice results within two days or 100 miles of driving.
Bar’s Leaks High Mileage Engine Repair is safe to use on gasoline, diesel or turbocharged engines in cars, trucks, vans and SUVs. It is available wherever auto parts are sold. Learn more at barsleaks.com/product/engine-repair-1000/.
