A couple months after doing the intake valve cleaner process, I took my truck with 178,000 miles in to get its annual emission test. The mechanic told me he never seen a truck with so many miles have such good emission test results. I use seafoam in the fuel tank, in the crankcase oil, as a intake valve cleaner, and in all my lawn equipment. I have a 1998 Lawn Boy FWD that uses Seafoam and its still running strong. I depend on that lite weight mower to cut my steep lawn, I'm 75.

2 fluid oz per gallon is recommended for cleaning the fuel. 1 fluid oz for maintenance. The company says you can't put too much into the fuel. To clean injectors, I use at least 2 fluid oz per gallon. When fogging the intake, it's recommended to run 1000 RPMs over idle. The tube is made to seal in the rubber boot, so it doesn't get sucked in. Running without a MAF sensor will usually throw a code. Easily cleared with a scanner. Reading and understanding the manufacturers directions is key to using the products correctly without creating additional problems. I'm sure it worked but, not all the way it was intended. I try to clean mine once or twice a year.

On o e of my 6.2 diesel’s I bought. I was using oil BAAAD! I bought enough oil filters and sea foam to do 4 old changes back to back to back to back 3x in one day. Plus added proper amount of sea foam to each oil change after dropping it. And putting new oil filters on as well. By driving on the Highway 200 miles each oil change. Then coming back and dropping the oil filter n added new sea foam each oil change : x in a day. Then on the 4th change in that same day. I also added Lucas oil stabalizer to the 4th oil change. BUT NO MORE SEA FOAM. I stopped the rings from sticking. Hence, no more oil burning. You literally FOR REAL could not sea the oil on the dip stick by the 4th oil change. The motor is still fine today. No more crazy oil being used either. My mechanic buddies didn’t believe me that the oil could not be seen cus it was that clean. It didn’t start turning tan, until. 400 some miles of driving

If you're like me and only buy high milage cars, this is essential for them to continue to run for years to come afterwards. every oil change one can of sea foam, half in the engine, the rest in the fuel. run the engine for about 50 miles, and drain the oil. This will flush out any carbon in the engine, and begin to clean it up. Once you start to do this, your engine will run better and better as time goes by. Lifters may clatter at start up, but will quickly pump up and quiet down. it you do this every time to service your engine, it will get better and better. It also works with transmissions!

I refer to SeaFoam as magic juice. First time i used it was on a jeep with frozen fuel lines. I added a full can to the tank, and within 10 minutes, the seafoam had worked its way through and attacked the ice. It attacks water too, so its an excellent stabilizer. I use it in every engine I own!
@thatairplaneguy4 ай бұрын
lol it’s literally the worst stabilizer. It fixed your frozen fuel line because the base oil (kerosene) has a much lower freezing point. It ISNT an emulsifier. It can’t help water in fuel. It actually attracts water also as well as ethanol. Kerosene, MMO or ATF works better at everything seafoam claims to do and all for much cheaper.

Liquid ounces should be measured with a measuring cup. Ounces measured by weight are different than liquid ounces. Probably not a big deal as I usually go heavy on whatever dosage they recommend and add it about 500 miles before I change the oil. Just make sure you don't overfill the crankcase. Use a good quality oil filter once you change your oil. A good quality air filter changed regularly is also a must. I run a high mileage full synthetic oil rated for 20k miles and change it every 10k. I also add an oil stabilizer with every other oil change. I do the crankcase treatment about every 40k on the cycle when I haven't added the stabilizer, and add fuel treatment/injector cleaner when I do the crankcase treatment. My last vehicle had over 300k miles on it before I "retired" her. When I last changed the timing chain and replaced the valve cover and oil pan gaskets, the engine looked super clean inside. I would've kept driving her but unfortunately, the manufacturers don't build the stuff attached to the chassis (interior, plastic components etc) to last more than about 12 years before it all starts to fall apart.

Good advice on how to use but you left out 2 pretty important things. 1st never use Seafoam if you have an oil leak or oil burning, when the cleaner removes the deposits of carbon it will make the leak/burning worse. 2nd thing is that seafoam isn't really meant to be used on newer vehicles, do to the amount of carbon it blows out, it can seriously damage your catalytic converters. Seafoam is decent stuff but should really only be used on older or higher mileage engines and mainly as a last resort. Almost 20 years of being a mechanic has shown me allot. Otherwise good vid bro keep them coming.

However I agree 100% with your statement about a 97 not being old per say. A good way to look at it is, that the newer the vehicle the more emissions crap car manufacturers put in the vehicles and with that the more cats and emissions stuff a vehicle has the more likely it is for a vehicle to have adverse effects from products like Seafoam. Your car should be fine as long as it doesn't leak or burn oil before hand. Since vehicles started using direct injection, it's kind of the point that I wouldn't recommend using a cleaner unless a last resort.

Tried the crankcase trick and shut off overdrive running around 3800 rpm for 10 min several times during the 300 miles. Drained the oil to change it and chunks of carbon sludge actually plugged the drain hole! Dropped and cleaned the pan and oil pick-up tube with brake parts cleaner. Did the same to the vvt solenoid screens and… VOILLA. Thing has 250,xxx miles, runs and sounds like new! The 4 oil changes since drain almost brand new looking oil at 5k miles.

The absolute best thing you can do for your high mileage Windsor is to replace the timing chain and sprockets, regardless of how well it runs. You need to dial in that valve timing for optimum performance. I drove my Ford 302 70 miles and shut it off. It was running perfectly. When I tried to restart it, all it did was backfire. Had to get towed and have the timing chain replaced. Do this before it screws you.

It’s acetone. If your vehicle was assembled at the factory with the light gray rtv or you have used that rtv like on the timing cover or oil pan it will dissolve the rtv . I found this out when I thought I had a stuck lifter and ended up being a broken exhaust valve spring. The noise got louder than quieter so I took valve cover off and found the broken spring. I started disassembling to take the head (L6) off to rebuild . When I took the timing cover off the rtv was soft and gummy like I just squeezed it out of the tube. I replaced the oil pump 2yrs before this and used that light grey rtv. So I don’t recommend using in the crank case. The blue can of seafoam is kerosene which is a safer product to put in the crank case or just put a cup of diesel like the old timers used to in the early 80’s and back.

Put a whole can in the engine oil, ( was gonna change the oil the next day ) and forgot it in there for a month. Changed my oil and the oil was so dark and had so much crap in it. Put a can in the fuel tank and filled the oil back up and man it ran so much smoother and had noticeably more power. Me and my roomate did the 3 seafoam treatment on his 500k mile f-150 and it ran quite a bit better. Still purring along years later. They recommend measuring out in oz to how much fuel you have in the tank. I literally just dump a whole can in with 3/4 of a tank of fuel and drive it a bit hard. Have never had any knocking, pinging, detonation. nothing. Just smoother and better running after.

@braddahjon96172 жыл бұрын
technically you dont want smoke coming out of the exhaust after performing this service. the white smoke is the excess fuel system cleaner being burned off. however its dumping it all onto the catalytic converter causing it to heat up more than it should resulting in long term damage to the converter. less smoke is better. no smoke is best. run rite make a system that is introduced thru the brake booster line. after the throttle body. petroleum or not, you dont want solvents going thru the throttle body in fear of damaging the throttle position sensor. remember, fuel does not flow thru the throttle body. only air. fuel is introduced from the fuel rail, to the injectors, to the combustion chamber. also adding a solvent to the crankcase does dilute the oil in turn changing the viscosity. It will thin out the oil, and decrease its strength to lubricate. we've used oil flushes in the past but have always drained out the flush and ran clean oil thru it at least 2 times before settling with the final fill.

Seafoam is basically kerosene. Originally developed for use in 2 stroke outboard motors. Highly effective in cleaning carburetor jets. It will also melt sludge in the crankcase, BUT it will also thin out your oil, so I would not run it in the oil long term. I would run it easy for about 3, slow 10 mile trips babying the car, then drain the oil. If you are already running 20wt oil I would be even more cautious. You can get the same results using plain old fashioned kerosene much cheaper.

You definitely don't want to subject your lungs to the stuff coming out of the exhaust after the intake treatment!💀
