I have used it many times. It is "the FE's friend." I've had small oil leaks that were traveling, almost imperceptibly, down the block and then tracking back and dropping from what appeared to be the rear seal, the transmission, and even a spot on the frame! Using the UV dye let me find the origin (intake/head spot) and fix it.
