Hi, I had my head gasket replaced 20,000 miles ago and the car is overheating again. I'm baffled. I had the mechanic change my coolant and change my oil and I added Kseal Ultimate. If this doesn't work, do you know if I can try adding Bars Stop leak in the same coolant to see if it helps too? Or should I start fresh with fresh coolant and fresh oil?

Yes, fresh coolant and oil will help but can I suggest Blue Devil head gasket, I usually don't recommend any head gasket seals but this one seems to work on more than one occasion we have found, check out this video we did in the shop.

Please let me know your outcome. Have good weekend.
