Prangy Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 So I have been watching you tube vidoes and reading about the seafoam. I want to do it in the crankcase, question is how long do I keep it in there. I am driving home from college today so could I buy some and put it in for the 200 mile trip and then do an oil change tomorrow or do I keep it in there longer. And also, when putting it in the gas tank do I just do that like any other injector/fuel system cleaner. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change the oil directly afterwards. Add 1/3 pint to full gas tank. (or 10 gallons) drive like normal on that tank. Let the tank run down low before you refill it.

88prelude Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 just how much would this help the car? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex37211 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Try it and find out. It's only like $7. Do it the next time you're planning on changing your oil. Results vary from car to car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleanGSR Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 From what I've read, you don't want to drive it with it in the oil, just put it in their and let it idle for awhile, then change immideately. (just as alex said) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prangy Posted December 2, 2008 Author Share Posted December 2, 2008 Thanks a lot guys, has anyone every tried this on like a pick up truck i was telling one of my buddies about it and he has a ford ranger and wanted to try it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex37211 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 It works on any combustion engines from carbureted to fuel injected, diesels, weed whackers, chain saws, and yes, Ford Rangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shanebot90 Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 all i can say is that it works.. while there are more expensive methods that are more aggressive, it does work. depending on how dirty your engine is it can turn caramel colored oil to black... put some in your intake vacuum line as well. the stuff can work wonders brah and it's nothing to worry about. just definitely make sure you change your oil after... put the stuff in, let the car sit for a while, say 15 minutes then start it, it won't want to start for a little while but it will eventually and then watch the smoke.

Humphries Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 i love seafoam. works best when used in the intake to free up carbon.. looks like a blown headgasket for 50 miles though haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Be prepared to smog like a mosquito truck if anyone else that comes to this thread plans on using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex37211 Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 when used correctly it only smokes for 5-10 minutes or so. (depending on your revs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDMQueen Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 a few of my friends have used seafoam..i dunno about it.. one guys car started smoking afterwards..gunk build up getting removed after so many years could end badly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humphries Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 it makes every car smoke. only when used in the intake. it is acetone. it's a fuel stabilizer, oil additive and it cleans valves. not necessary to remove a head to clean it if it's in working condition.

88prelude Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 what if you just had an oil change and you put seafoam in your oil but dont change your oil and drive around with it,, is it bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastresort576 Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 what if you just had an oil change and you put seafoam in your oil but dont change your oil and drive around with it,, is it bad? yes. it's also most likely to foul your plugs as well so put in either an old set or get new ones to install for when the process is complete.

88prelude Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 yes. it's also most likely to foul your plugs as well so put in either an old set or get new ones to install for when the process is complete. how would it foul your plugs if you keep it in the oil? and my friend has a 91 teggy and he did the same thing and hes been drivin around with the stuff for s good 2000 miles and hes had no problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
