DON'T.
Why would you want to put that crap in your engine? It's a temporary fix at best.
Just replace the pan gasket. Permanent fix.

Think I have top agree with FLDave on this one. The only thing that should be in your oil is oil.

I see your yellow conv. We have a 95 red conv and have problem with the yellow deck release switch behind the driver seat not working The one in the console works fine. Any help is welcome. Thanks

Bob Dylan described the stop leak additive: To cure a cold you take a shot of malaria.

How oil stop leak works is by swelling the rubber seals. This in time makes them weak and later on all the seals will fail. Horrible stuff. An analogy would be brushing your teeth with grit in the toothpaste, in the short term gets them clean as can be but later on they all fall out.
