Looks like it is time for seafoam.

I just did it on my 87 cadi (76500miles on it) that i drive every day and wow it woke right up im going to do it one more time to make sure i got everything covered.


If you need help on how to do it let me know ill walk you though it. Best thing about it is that it only cost 8 bucks and it is something you can do by yourself.

I bought my car with just over 21k on it in June. I'm now just under 30k.
That works out to be 27,000 miles a year!!! I drive a lot!!!

Congrats man! Use the car the way it was meant to be.

i followed the book that came with it. oil change ever 5k (royal purple and mobil 1 filter), other fluid changes every 15k, timing belt and balance shaft belt change at 60k, spark plugs at 60k as well. other than that, just put gas in it, and drive it HARD.
