Sea Foam (With Pic )

[Ruski]

Heres a little run through on how to use Seam Foam and where.. All info can also be found online..

1. With engine warm, I pulled the brake booster tube of first then started the car.. you can also use the P.C.V. valve. Then slowly pour 1/3 to 1/2 pint through Brake booster line. Do not place the tube into the can.. This will pull SEA FOAM down on top of the pistons and to the back of the intake valves to dissolve carbon. Turn ignition off. Restart engine after 5 - 15 minutes.

In addition you can ( AND / OR )

2.Pour 1/3 to 1/2 pint into oil crank case to clean rings, lifters, dirty parts and remove moisture.

3.Pour 1/3 to 1 full pint into fuel tank to clean injectors, carburetor jets, fuel lines and remove moisture.

4.An Oil change is recommend soon after to get rid of all the junk that might have been broken up. As well as replacing spark plugs that might be fouled.

****Make sure exhaust is well ventilated when using Sea Foam in these various ways as fumes will be extreme for a short time.*****


Results: Smoother idle, increased R.P.M.'s better throttle response and improved performance. See label on can for more info

is this good on any mileage ? good tutorial man.

[Ruski]

i would think its good on any mileage .. since the engine creates carbon build up..

is this good on any mileage ? good tutorial man.

On the brakebooster and in the gas tank is good at any milage. I'd recommend you do these and then a week later get your sparks examined.

2.Pour 1/3 to 1/2 pint into oil crank case to clean rings, lifters, dirty parts and remove moisture.

If there was a leak somewhere being sealed by gunk/sludge, then this may loosen this up..as a result your may exp some leaking. I still use it on my high milage cars as well (cus i've been using it ever since they were 50K miles young).

Good write up man.
And if you do have an exhaust leak, then SeaFoam will let you know.

Yea last time I did it someone thought my car was on fire ha ha white smoke. Also on a 4cyl vtec when the vtec engages it shoots out a lot of extra white smoke. James Bond style

So spark plugs should be 'examined' afterwards?
Ive also heard seafoam can cause the 02 sensor to give you a check engine light?

I just bought some plugs and do plan on doing seafoam in about 2k before I change my oil...

[Ruski]

on the can it says sensor safe.. But yes i would change out plugs and oil.. im gonna sea foam one more time before my next oil change due to the fact that i didn't pour 1/2 into the brake booster line

So spark plugs should be 'examined' afterwards?

Some members here suggest to examine them during the oil change (which follows sea-foam process), but I wouldn't be that eager (yeah, you can 'also' do that to satisfy your curiocity), but I'd rather wait two weeks after the oil change to examine them.

[Turbosolara]

i did several times with my cars and i never had trouble after

[Hsakuragi]

does any one know anyone that did seaform on drive-by-wire system with push start cars? (eg..prius)

[Ruski]

umm im sure you can do that, what will be the difference ?? Just the ignition is push start thats about it correct ??

"seaform" its Seafoam lol
