What if all the buildup and crap doesn't get all the way out of the engine? Wouldn't crap falling off the valves get stuck in the piston chamber??

 

hmmm...good point. that's why it would be good to do it 2-3 times for the first 6 months, then after that 20K-30K miles.

now if only someone knows how to pour the seafoam into a civic??

 

I don't believe inn it either. I mean... geez running some crap through your car every 2-3k miles?? I seriously suspect some kind of scam going on with these people where these chemicals actually attract deposits, crud or whatever and force you to keep using the crap. I have no facts, I have no documentation or examples... LOL... I just suspect it. When I see "use every xxxx miles" on something I get a creepy feeling.

Just the fact that some people feel the need to use stuff like this so frequently. These folks are either imagining a constant loss of power, or this stuff is doing exactly as I suspect. No vehicle should need anything like this stuff that frequently unless something is very wrong.

Maybe it does actually ruin the O2 sensors and the only time they feel performance pickup is with an additive with octane or some other 'booster' type chemical in it. Think about that one...

I'm not debating Seafoam's initial effectiveness, just it's long term effects, as I doubt any additive's long term effects. Again, no facts to back it up, just a bad feeling.

 

Well, you couldn't have said it better... No facts, never used, no documentation. I see where you're coming from.....NOT

It's been used in my car since its birth. 164,000 miles and not a SINGLE problem. Replaced O2s and SPark Plugs at 153,000 miles. I BS you not, the plugs lasted 153,000 miles. I repeat, 153,000 miles and it was getting seafoamed every 10,000 miles. There's your fact sheet

 

Hey that's cool. But for all I know you could be getting 15mph highway and you wouldn't tell. I'm not sure I can listen to someone that went 153,000 miles on one set of plugs

 

Let me be frank. I could honestly care less what your vehicle runs like. I was simply voicing my experience. Weither you Seafoam or not, talk trash about it or what have you. I will continue to use it in all my vehicles. How can you not trust a company that been around since the early 40's

BTW: Its more like 26mpg/highway and 18mpg/city

 

Wow, you must be some kind of Seafoam rep or something. Or do you sell some kind of other product people criticize and you've become frustrated with?

Don't fall for that bs dude... it's a falsehood that a company somehow magically becomes trustworthy and all-hail-wonderful once it reaches a certain age. Tell that to the guy that was driving the Explorer when the Firestone tire blew out. Or the dude in the Chevy pickup that exploded on impact... or maybe the people who have no retirement because Enron executives didn't have the sense to hire responsible accountants... Just the thought of millions of people in the world thinking like that is scary.

"Rooby-dooby-doo"!

 

BTW: The Moon Landing was a hoax and there's super talking mice that whisper what products you should buy in your ear while you sleep.

Dumbass...... You'll eat this right up... I also work for the government.

O yea, thats the last you'll hear from me. I don't like to invade posts and then go WAYYYYY......off topic like some people do. I just get sucked in everyso often. Later....

 

Those are some really good analogies you've come up with. Remind us again how moon hoaxes and magic mice relate to the blatant facts I pointed out.

I don't even think you're coherent. I'm arguing with an incoherent fool.

"Rooby-dooby-doo!"

 

Ummm...ok so back on topic.

TMDZ28, I use seafoam through the intake about every 10,000 miles or once a year. It seems that if you maintain it and do it regularly the chance of fouling O2's goes away. As far as through the gas tank. Well, I'm pretty inconsistent about that. I try to use it before long trips to ensure that the entire tank of gas gets run through. The oil on the other hand. I don't touch that. I feel that if you run a good clean synthetic oil (I've run Mobil 1 Syn forever and a day) there should be no reason why you would need an additive. In fact I've heard of rare instances where seafoam actually causes gelling in the oil (Not good). Its all up to you. Do not fear seafoam, if used correctly you'll find nothing but positive results.

 

glad to hear that man....i dont think my car has been seafoamed before (i bought it at 104K), until less than 1000 miles ago. there was a hell of smoke coming out of it. so i'm thinking about doing it again soon (maybe another 1000miles or so), then i can change my o2's. thanks for the input man. btw, with that many miles on your car, it still runs like a charm i presume?

 

I am thinking about seafoaming my car...the only thing is i just changed the spark plugs, and dont want to do that again for another 50k miles or so...and i have not yet changed the o2's on my car yet..it has 90k miles on it...is that a good idea or what? How great of a posibility is it to foul up your o2's and spark plugs by running this stuff in your car if your car has 90k miles and is going on 10 years old?

 

I wish I could complain about how my car runs , it makes me feel guilty, all these guys around here that have half the miles and they have all kinds of problems. My car is actually faster than my buddies 94 Z and it has only 90,000 miles


To answer your question... My buddies 94 Z that I mentioned above with 90,000 miles just got seafoamed for the first time about a month ago when he bought it. We did O2's right after. No problems from the plugs, but we're gonna do them soon just because we're not sure of the mileage. No problems though with them fouling out. Good Luck I don't think you'll have a problem. O2's are more likely to be your problem, but you've got that under control.

 

After you SeaFoamed, did anyone notice a difference in power?

 

not power wise. but the run runs a lot smoother. and sounds smooth too
