I know there are other Seafoam threads on this forum, but its funny to see this one at almost 10 pages...I've poured a bottle of it in my gas tank & would maybe pour/spray it into the intake manifold but I am not comfortable pouring it into my oil. I've poured it into the oil on some higher mileage beater vehicles but I will not do that on my evo.

 

i wouldnt put it in my oil either, its strait up solvent and a great way to wipe out a bearing.

 

UH hate to say it but you can put it in the oil. FYI you change the oil after 8 to 10 miles and yes it is safe.

 

I know you are supposed to change the oil a couple miles after pouring it in there but I still wouldn't do it...but thats just me...

 

That is the whole point of it thought. Sure its a detergent as stated above and it really does work well. If you leave it in your system for 3k miles yeah your ****s gonna get ****ed up. When you put a third of a bottle in as instructed over 5 and some change qts of oil, there isn't enough detergent in there to harm anything. It is just like putting it in the gas tank. You don't put a whole bottle in there, they tell you to put a third in for a reason. Stuff is very powerful but not so much that things will go bad if you use it. If you use it properly, and as instructed it will work wonders in the car.

 

would you pour 6 oz of gasoline into your crankcase?

 

Last time I check Seafoam isn't gas so lets be realistic. Stupid ****in people who don't change the oil after using it deserve to get ****ed up motors thats all I will say. I have been using it in my cars for years with never any problem what so ever in my oil before an oil change.

 

Your an idiot. Seafoam is not gasoline.

Because it is combustible it is gasoline? Its mainly toluene I believe. But good try.

I had a gf seafoam her civic. I told her pour the seafoam in, then drive to the shop to have the oil changed.

Some how that got turned in to - get your oil changed then pour it in. 5000 miles of seafoam.... and the motor went another 70k before she sold it.

More dumb **** falls out of your mouth.


I've seafoam'd two evos. Both with over 100k. In the oil, and in the intake. Vac levels improved significantly.

Any one have a thread of seafoam ever doing anything bad... when used properly?....

 

what is seafoam if it isnt a solvent? last can i picked up said petroleum distallates all over it. and can any of you find a reputable engine builder that says its a good idea to dump it in the crankcase? im guessing no.

 

Right off the webpage

2.As an after service additive into fresh oil, nearly fresh oil, or oil (used condition) that is NOT ready to be changed (based on mileage since last oil change), put the same amount of Sea Foam® Motor Treatment into the crankcase as described above, and then regularly monitor your oil for color and clarity. Set a predetermined schedule for checking the oil condition on a mileage, timed, or event basis (like every time you add fuel, etc.) to determine when an oil service is necessary. Monitoring of the oil for color and clarity will tell you when it is time to do an oil change service. NOTE: Do not exceed 3,000 miles without changing the oil.

Sea Foam® is safe to use with all synthetic oils. 100% synthetic oils, and blends of synthetic and petroleum-based oils, were engineered and are manufactured to be 100% compatible with petroleum based oils, all brands, and vice/versa. Without this compatibility, oil manufacturers and engineers would be liable for the results of mixing non-compatible lubricants. Since Sea Foam® ONLY contains petroleum oils, it is entirely compatible with synthetic oils.

Remember! When Using Sea Foam® in Your Crankcase:
•Check your oil and monitor its color & clarity to determine need for LOF service!
•Change your oil when it gets dirty!


and here is one more right off the webpage just to prove I'm not an idiot

Sea Foam® is not a chemical engine flush and therefore, it will not damage internal engine components or plug the oil pick up screen. Sea Foam® is a pure petroleum blend with no chemical additives and is safe for long term cleaning or short term pre-service cleaning'

Sea Foam® is a blend of highly refined additive oils and is compatible with all motor oils including synthetics. It is safe for all internal engine components and will not affect any seals, gaskets or o-rings. Sea Foam® cleans oil deposits and varnish in your crankcase by safely/slowly re liquefying the old oil residue so contaminants may flow and be filtered. The longer Sea Foam® is in your oil the cleaner your crankcase will become. When adding Sea Foam® to clean oil, for long term maintenance cleaning, you must check your oil periodically for color and clarity, when your oil looks dirty change it. Because you added cleaning oil (Sea Foam®) to your oil you may have to change oil before the expected service interval.

 

Now tell me again why this **** kills engine bearings?

 

petroleum distillate and petroleum oil.

 

i dont care what their website says, there is no reason to put it in your oil. if you want to, go right ahead. just dont preach that its 100% safe because it isnt.

Ok I was gonna give you the bennifet of the doubt but no your and idiot. I don't care what the manufacture says about the product they make? Really? Rod knocks happen all the time and I highly doubt its because they used sea foam. Looking at the google search yeah sure retards put it in there and don't follow directions I am sure of it.

 

i guess the big question is, why do you run crappy oil and let it varnish up your engine? if you use a good oil and change it at correct intervals, there wont be anything for the seafoam to clean up.

also, just use some common sense. if something is strong enough to clean out 5 years of sludge and varnish in 10 minutes, doesnt that give you an idea how strong it may be? what cleaner that strong has decent lubricity? name one.
