Talking UV Dye to detect oil leak

Just a heads up that if you're going to add some UV dye to find a suspected oil leak, most of the little 1oz bottles will say on their label that it's enough for a "single application". This is true for smaller engines, as 1oz of dye is typically the dosage for 4 to 5 quarts of oil.

The LR2 holds 8+ quarts of oil, so you'll want to purchase and add 2 bottles of dye. Otherwise, only 1oz of dye will get so diluted by the larger quantity of oil that you'll barely notice it with your UV light. Ask me how I know
