Good morning..anyone used this Dye UV kit to detect oil leak in the engine??

I've used UV dye to trace an oil leak, and it does work well. The key is to thoroughly clean off all existing oil residue on the motor, before using the dye, so that any leaks will be easier to spot using the dye.

I have 1 more Q..I read that add 1 oz of Dye to 4 L of engine oil..our Yukons taking 7.6L, should I add 2 oz of it for detection or 1 is enough??
Have a look to photo attached
