Sea Foam

[DRO916]

Should I run the Sea Foam before or after a scheduled oil change and before or after I replace my spark plugs?

At time of oil change i get 2 bottles one in fuel and other in oil after the change. Works wonders and before i changed plugs into booster did the trick.

What would you suggest? Thats how I always heard to use it...

[s15driftdreamer]

i would suggest you do it before you change the oil or spark plugs, cuz its gonna get em dirty, also i would change your o2 sensor after you do it, cuz it can foul that also. and the brake booster line is good because it is close to the tb, and allows the intake runners to get cleaned. i use it on my car before all my tune ups.

What do you mean by works wonders? Got any proof or anything?

Thanks for the idea,I'm putting in a little bit in my oil now...:)

The reason pouring Seafoam into the booster line works so well is cus like the other guy said, the other end of the line goes right into the intake runners. You do it when the motor's warmed up so it basically acts like a steam cleaner in there to remove carbon buildup and whatnot. Just don't let too much in otherwise you may seize the motor. (Its basically like pouring water into the motor.. be careful) :P

Also you wanna let some into a nipple on the TB so you can get some in there as well. I haven't used it yet (gonna do a steamclean today w/ water) but a friend has and he says it works great.

damn you used that much? how long it take to run it and get all the shlt smoke out? and did u put it in gastank w/or w/o gas? better safe than sorry especially on the car that gets me to work

[yudalicious]

hahaha yea... my friend's newly bought 90 fb smoked black for hrs ;] hehehe felt sorry for whoever was behind him on the road. HE said it worked really well for him.
For me there was better idle but the change wasn't phenomenal, but my car is a 96 so that might have something to do w/ it.

yudalicous-Awsome sn. Smoked black? For hours? Maybe you didn't do something right,or maybe somethings wrong,but every thing I've done (2001 Frontier with KA24DE,2 Maximas,2001 Blazer,my 91 fastback with KA24DE,V-twin sears riding lawn mower,and "ziggy" named after quetem leap,my push lawn mower) have yeilded white smoke? Not that much either. The worst was my moms '97 Maxima,and that was all of 15 minutes.


I was talking to a freind about seafoam b/c this thread...and he puts a very small amount in each tankfull? Good idea? Bad idea? Its a 22RE so he doesn't have to fill up,but so often so the bottle last a good long time.

You are supposed to see white smoke. Run it through a small vacuum line to prevent hydrolock, and be prepared to replace plugs because they will get dirty. Water will also work, that is what i usually run. it's also a lot cheaper too.

brake booster line right?, lol ur brakes probally wouldnt like if u dumped it in the res... or into the booster its self......lol

[THX1138]

Sea Foam is some awesome stuff, I wish I'd heard of it sooner. I ran a can about three months ago, 1/3 into the brake booster line and the rest into the gas tank. Since then my gas mileage has slowly gone from 22-24 mpg to 25-27 mpg. Definitely worth way more than the $5 I dropped on it at Advance.
