That sounds like what I needed when I bought my cars. 
It leaked from every conceiveable location.  I used at
least 2 cases before I finally fixed everything
correctly.  Since then I haven't used 1 liter between
2 cars in almost 2 years.  The last 2 liters I have
left are getting lonely sitting in that cabinet in the
basement.

I paid $8 per liter when buying in bulk, but I get
your point.  I looked at some other fluid solutions
too.  Mobil has about 50 different mineral oils.
