Sea Foam
Just did it to my car. First time, with 137k on the odo. Didn't getting near the amount of smoke any of you guys are getting. Got a few puffs when I poured some into the vacuum line, but that was it. Guess its mad clean in there!
I do mine a few times myself. I will do it origionally drive it a day or 2 do it again and again till it doesn't smoke anymore. I will use a whole bottle just in the vac lines over a week or so and it works well specially in my truck
yea i cleaned my MAF also and noticed a difference, going to clean my throttle also tomorrow. For people with high milage i suggest getting a friend and letting him/her push the throttle all the way and see if the throttle opens all the way since over time the wire can stretch. The worse iv seen is the throttle only open 25%.
I think what tigger was referring to were the directions on the back of the can. It says that once you pout 1/3 pint into the vacuum line you shut the car off for 5 minutes and the turn it back on. I just did it last night and I remember reading the directions like 10 times before I poured it anywhere lol
My IX MR had the fluids changed a month ago at 90K and it was still clean.
I would immagine that if you track your car ALOT and bang your gears to get some trash in there then yes change your fluid a lot.
Oil changes too, 5000 MIN you dummies.
after reading this thread I tried this on my daily driver, a 99 mercedes c230 kompressor.
This car has 168k miles on it, and the previous owners didn't even try to take care of it.
I figured that a sea foam treatment would really help clean the intake and combustion chambers.
After the sea foam treatment, the engine appears smoother, revs a little better, but my millage has dropped by more than 1mpg
I may have contaminated the MAF sensor with the sea foam, I hope that's it. I might try more in the gas tank to clean the injectors, and I might try treating the intake again for schist and giggles.

Do it! I have treated my intake and gas tank the last 2 fill ups and I am prolly gonna do it one more time. The smoke after dumping the foam down the vac line this time seemed to be a lot less on this second treatment so on the next one it should be next to none I think... but we shall see. I also put about half a can in the engine last night and I plan on changing it today or tomorrow. It's crazy but the oil actually looks a little cleaner after I put the foam in the motor... anyone else noticed this?
