How To SEAFOAM Your Jeep Wrangler

[@lenstockton7467]

Hey Ben, don't ever think your videos are boring or non informative. I personally enjoy your videos and content, so keep doing what your doing.

[@12Bravojeepstuff]

Every oil change I dump some fuel system cleaner in my wife's LJ. I clean the throttle body every 3rd or 4th oil change. Started that routine at 15k miles now we're on 170k still running ok. Change the plugs every 30k. They always look fairly clean. Thanks for the vids.

[@projectbumblejeep4190]

I want to Hemi swap my XJ, found the best way (I think) would be to get the Hemi, 5 speed and transfer case from a Dakota so equipped. Eliminates the need for the AX15 adaptor ($1500). Looking forward to the series. God bless, stay well.

[@danhambrick6331]

Did they ever put a Hemi in a Dakota?

[@frankthatank510]

I just did this service on my Jeep zj 4.0l. I had the same results. 👌

[@ps144one2]

I also seafoam during oil changes. Drain oil 100%, replug, pour in a bottle of seafoam, crank the engine a few times (15 sec don't want to damage rings.) Reopen the drain plug and watch more junk come out. Some people also do this old school way with diesel fuel.

[@rodtoler]

My JK could use this. I used to Seaford my old hoopty hotrod back in the day. Becky's JK has hit 100k so, you know she needs it. She is making me put a catch can in hers when I get back🙄. Thanks, Ben.

[@tfwoodcraft]

I like that gladiator powerwheels sitting in the garage!

[@georgebunce749]

I find the best results for getting carbon off the pistons is to dump the Seafoam in the spark plug holes and let it sit overnight. Turn it over the next day to drain the cylinders and then change the oil to remove any that seeps past the piston rings.

[@leskobrandon538]

Back in the 70's when I was a kid, I used Kysite motor tune up.. I rigged out the whole neighborhood!.. wasn't a mosquito left anywhere in the neighborhood. 😂

[@davidkeeton6716]

[@mathieugodin7742]

I had a good follow up question on those falcon shock 3.3 piggyback How are they? Ride wise and Performance wise, I’ve been looking to upgrade either flacon 3.3 or fox2.0 Thanks in advance on getting back to me on this Matt

[@glennw46]

Late to the party, but enjoyed the video. Guess I need to do that to the 16 JKU we just bought with 75k. Need Seafoam.

[@bobmcelver1484]

At the behest of my GF's mischievous son, I did this on my old 97' Tahoe with a ton of miles in a suburb of Buffalo.........had no idea what it would do cause even though I've been a mechanic all my life I never admittedly used this stuff. HOLY COW........people started coming out on their porches to see where the fire was........Little did I know that the younger guys were doing this to raise hell at the time.......kids, go figure lol

[@johnroszel8470]

Fun stuff. Keep it up. Looking forward to the seap for sure!

[@medusajeep2130]

stop apologizing! :) this is great info and demo!!!!!

[@TattedTaco]

Met one of your old neighbors yesterday at rausch ha. Found out whag the channel nick name is lmao. We are waiting for yall to come back to Rausch!

[@dirf554]

Low smoke means you have a clean engine but sea foam is a great product for a neglected old motor

[@addison1439]

I have 153,000 miles on my jeep(2011 jku) . think it would be good idea to pour seafoam into the gas tank, that way it slowly cleans it, instead of through the intake?

[@onemorep6]

Could more smoke be related to aerosol as opposed to the liquid ? Seafoam is a good product. Thanks

[@taraaaron1242]

On a higher mileage jeep would you recommend just putting it in the tank once a tank

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Depends what your mileage is. Over 150k or something like that I wouldn’t do the intake way. It’s always safe to putting it in the gas tank whenever you want

[@jackbeard2248]

his catalytic converters are on life support

[@johnhowzeiv1856]

Love the rigs

[@brianclifford9652]

Great info on the seafoam, need to do my jku it's got about 120,000 is that to many miles?🤔🤔

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Nope! Perfect timing

[@spacecowboy2614]

I would love to do this to my jeep.

[@crumpb63]

Ever have any problems with the seafoam setting off engine codes. I have a 4.o LJ.

[@Dawatchmaker]

When you do it the first time and your vehicles got 75,000 miles should you followed up again the next week or how long should you wait?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

I like to do it every 30k.

[@kevinvicars4972]

Ben and Cassie, Thanks for the great DIY content. I would like to be entered in the drawing for a can of Seafoam. Thank you

[@stuschultz4651]

At what mileage would you recommend doing this? Plus I would like a can

[@JKGearandGadgets]

If your above 50k it would be beneficial

[@benjaminmanski7081]

I would love to try this on my Jeep jk

[@Brother_Lander]

Gonna need that seafoam

[@darrellwalthall7802]

Hey Do you have a link for the viper throttle body for the jku

[@JKGearandGadgets]

amzn.to/32pClQE Or search for part number: 53032837AB You will also need an adapter for your intake depending on what your running.

[@austinlieuallen7614]

I'll take a can enter me!

[@projectbumblejeep4190]

Forgot to ask, what do you think about adding SeaFoam to the oil? That's an option as well. Let me know.

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Yes it’s great. Mentioned it briefly I think. Pour some in a few hundred miles before an oil change

[@conner415]

How about a JK with 125k on it? If so, sign me up!

[@MrSammykitch70]

Help me clean my engine!

[@mowinglegends9567]

I want a free can of seafoem lol 😆

[@JEEP-N-DIRT]

Hey guys great video. but I've got to add something important here. As an Engineer who deals with failure mode analysis in an industrial environment, and veteran jeeper, please please please note: If you have less than 50k or so miles, it's much safer to NOT do it that way. Just use it in the tank through the fuel system then maybe once a year or after another 20k or 30k. I've used and studied this stuff and the reason it works well is because of its potency. That said, when it sits in those pistons they will have a very dry / gritty start which is where the potential for damage comes in. Especially if someone puts in too much. Just food for thought.

[@jashaejoseph3752]

THANK YOU for this comment, because I was about to do it on my 51k mile jeep where she’s pretty clean already and I guess I was going for a more preventative maintenance trick but this is well needed advice.

[@TheGreatBrownBoy]

Makes sense carbon deposits breaking free on a heat soak. Start up can cause scratching.

[@spacecowboy2614]

Your videos are top notch even doing something so simple like this keeps me glued to the screen man. Keep it up 👍🏻

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Thank you! That means alot

[@spacecowboy2614]

I have a 2016 jku rubicon with 113000km, do you think seafoaming it would be ok?

[@MatthewSemones]

just curious, but won't all of the debris flying out lodge in the cats?

[@leskobrandon538]

Seafoam was originally for 2stroke outboard motors..

[@OkGreat-]

It literally still says only for 2 stroke only on the can...

[@garyhenion9459]

Sea foam is some good stuff And I have to add how good that exhaust sounds on the gladiator

[@davidcollins2219]

Good info. One tip I recommend is run this before you put in new spark plugs. Using the seafoam I've noticed can create a little bit of build up on occasion on the spark plugs.

[@ricanredliner]

The Jeep manual says indiscriminate use of fuel additives/cleaners may cause damage to fuel system gasket and materials. Anyone else read this in their manual?

[@jimschmidt4089]

Thank you for the info. I've used the stuff for years. I also use it on my lawnmower and snowblower as well at the end of the season. Thanks for ther video guys!

[@papegregpape83]

Do an oil change with Royal Purple. Apparently it’s got some detergents in it that will clean a lot of build up in the lubricated side of the engine. There are a couple of videos showing before and after. That being said, I only run it one cycle out of the year, MOBIL1 is still my go to. Anyways food for thought, another great video!

[@lastbhatalive]

After replacing my motor I’m only using royal purple now.

[@andrewmason1111]

Just checked my can this morning. First time since installing last week. Wow! It caught a lot! No more than 1/8 an ounce but sure beats spraying that into intake. Thanks again. Can't wait to try the seafoam. Ben, I have been having issue with my 15 jk jeep. My seat belt latch/sensor is malfunctioning. It keeps beeping and flashing on dash. Have you had any problems with your jk?

[@hogssolutions]

I Didn’t finish sorry I live in Mercedes Tx I’m a painter contractor most of my work is in laguna vista and SPI funny yo house and trails look so familiar just got a Jeep and I working on it, if you need any painting let me know

hello is this video will help cleaning the throlley body of a jeep wrangler 2020??? im having a meesgae on screen service throlley electronic jeep goes in a limp mode 😔 took it at the dealer they said they could not find anything

[@joeloverso4589]

also if you hat a lifter tick add the caan straight into the oil on a warm motor. it will clean lifters cams break up all old oil build ups and id do that ever 50-75 k if you use regular oil, for full syn once every 100 k if you notice build up when u change valve covers ( i work on vehicles and ive been doing it on my own for years but dont over do it

[@davidahrens1269]

Old school method was to mist water in to the carburetor on a warm engine to create steam to break up carbon deposits

[@andyhavrilla5138]

Also trans fluid worked

[@TheGreatBrownBoy]

Be careful with this maybe just run it through your gas you risk cat damage and clogs.

[@cherokeefit4248]

I just pour it in the gas and use sythentic oil. When I first got my 2000 xj I used sythentic oil and about 5-6 oil changes later it leaked everywhere. I use this stuff or gumout about 2-3 fill ups.

Sorry not a believer! I’ve used better products. Keeping your oil changed regularly and using good gas is mostly all you need.

[@90210sky]

Pentastars are not GDI, at least not my 2013 and previous, then what is the benefit of using seafoam?

[@StormbornJKU]

This video is perfect to go hand in hand with the oil catch can. I’ve been using seafoam in my Comanche for a while now since that engine is so old, and after seeing the catch can I’m going to buy that and seafoam for the JK as well!!

[@alexthorpe1606]

Im in for the giveaway! Think a can of seafoam would be alright for a TJ 4.0 at 110K miles?? Also thoughts on the "High milage" seafoam?

[@drillbittreed10]

Well i tried the seafoam in the tank when i went to Oklahoma and i have to say that i got better gas mileage on the 2nd tank after running the tank with seafoam in it. I was getting around 17 mpg now it gets 20mpg. Now im running stock Except for the BFG K2 tires. I would Recommend this to everyone. Thanks a million for doing this video.

[@00corin00]

I have 100K on my 2017 jeep JK. Is that to many miles to do this for the first time?

[@Montyhugo]

I'm tripping on the "Ketchikan and The Juneau "🤷‍♂️

[@alexcollazo7976]

I have about 130k on my Jeep should I consider doing this or let it be?

[@hogssolutions]

Hi I bing watching you Chanel and I just kno

[@treyhaberman]

Nice video Ben, but the process of cleaning through the intake is more for direct injection vehicles. The 3.6 is still mpi where the fuel injectors spray upstream of the intake valves and keep them pretty clean. The whole catch can design is almost required for direct injection since the evaporated oil from the crankcase cokes to the intake valves and the fuel is injected downstream of the valves, not cleaning them. GM's DI engines are having a tough time with this.

[@Hitman4661]

Hey ben, do you know about torqs lockers? Or aussie lockers which are made in the usa and they are cheap lockers you can add, would like to see you talk about it or even install it 😅

[@legitdelirium3446]

Mix old motor oil and water. Does the exact same thing and costs essentially nothing

did you notice better gas mileage after pouring and spraying all that in the jeeps

Just a note: I had my Jeep Wrangler for 15 yrs and I never used any of this stuff. So I do not see the benefit and appears to be a waste of money. Which I do not want to waste.

[@JKGearandGadgets]

It’s like $8 for a can. Sure it’s not something that is needed to keep the engine running… but a good way to clean carbon deposits if you want.

What do you think about between 80,000 to 90,000 miles would it be beneficial the use this?

Yep! Or just get some Techron complete fuel system cleaner from Walmart and run that in every few tanks. Sea foam is getting too pricey

[@brianduff4278]

aerosol can works great for turbo charged engines where taking off the intake tube negates all your boost. did that on my ecoboost f150 and it really cleaned it up.

hey guys. Any insight about using this on a JK 3.6 with Magnusson Supercharger? A bit nervous to get too Jiggy with Froced air and engine cleaner ... what do you think?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

I’d be careful or might shy away from the vacuum method through the brake booster, just because I’m not sure how well the magunsson tuning handles large vacuum “leaks”. You will be fine in the gas tank however. If you do the vacuum method just don’t try to pour too much in at a time.

Using the vacum line from the brake booster bypasses the Throttle Body.....Using the aerosol on the Throttle Body helps clean it and maybe more of the Intake manifold. I would like a can of SEAFOAM for my 2016 JKU with a catch can just now at 15,000 miles....

Thank you for this video!! But I’m a little surprised, I sucked seafoam in to my ‘14 Jeep Wrangler with 155,000 miles just as you did, and waited 20 minutes, started it up and I had absolutely no smoke! I sucked in about 5 ounces. I also put about 5 ounces in my oil and 6 ounces in my fuel tank. I’m not sure if I did something wrong! 🤔🧐 It does however, seem to be more responsive and running better. I have a half can left, so maybe I’ll try it again!
