Question 1

How long does it normally take to stop the leak?

Accepted Answer

I put the Power Steering Stop in drove 30 miles and back and had no problems.  The reservoir was still full and it has been a couple weeks of driving and still no leaking.

Question 2

Is Lucas power steering stop leak thick or like regular fluids?

Accepted Answer

Lucas Power Steering Stop Leak is more viscous than the regular fluid (Dexron III/Mercon or Dexron II). The kinematic viscosity (the ratio of the dynamic viscosity to the density of the fluid) of Lucas Power Steering Stop Leak (according to Lucas Oil's website) at 100 deg C is 45 centiStokes.  For comparison, Dexron III and Dexron II both have a kinematic viscosity of 7 centiStokes at the same temperature (100 deg C). Also for comparison, water at room temperature has a kinematic viscosity of about 1 centiStoke. In other words, the viscosity of Lucas Power Steering Stop Leak is more than 6 times higher than Dexron type II or type III. Lucas' instructions recommends to use at most two (12 oz.) bottles, preferably one.  Using more than 2 bottles will result in excessive viscosity for the power steering.  From my experience, it only works for slow leaks seeping through very narrow gaps, relying on its slightly higher viscosity to stop or at least slow down the leak.  The more Lucas you use, the more viscous is the total mixture inside the power steering.  In my case, I used one bottle. My car had a slow seeping leak and (the one bottle of) Lucas slowed it down considerably but it did NOT completely eliminate it. I eventually decided to replace the rack and pinion which completely solved my problem.

Question 3

lucas steering stop leak,How long has the leaks stop leaking ,weeks months or years.

Accepted Answer

I used the whole bottle a little at a time over a period of a few months in 2010. Since then I top up the power steering fluid about once a year.

Question 4

Will it fit Nissan maxima sl 3.5 2006 model, bank1 ?

Accepted Answer

I am not sure what you mean by will it fit? It is power steering fluid with stop leak in it. It will fit any model
