Another Seafoam question.

CArkid0101 · Jun 5, 2005

I know theres alot of seafoam question threads, but if i put it through a vacum line to the crankcase, what do i do next? I read on some other forums you empty it? How do i do that. I thought u just left it. Does it come out with an oil change? i dont get it. also, is putting it in ur gas tank make ur car run ****ty? I have an autox event coming and im curious to know if makes ur car run lean? Thx for the help in advance. Peace

You let it suck up about half the can then turn the car off, Pour the rest in your gas tank (it also an injector cleaner). After 5 min. turn it on and watch the smoke show.

No joke about that smoke show.

Someone should post a step by step procedure with pics.

Are you supposed to change your oil afterwards?

Also, does this stuff clean the intake manifold?

if you run it through the throttle body

I would not drive the car with it in the oil, especially not at high RPMs.

I do not believe seafoam is a lubricant.

It wont hurt it, I run a shop and we reccommend it all the time, it cleans sticky lifters ect. as long as you don't dump more than a third of a can, that's what you are supposed to do.

CArkid0101 · Jun 6, 2005

so do you change ur oil afterwards? and so like a half can in the vacum line?

How do you do that exactly?

just used a can in my car...the smoke show was unbelievable...tons of smoke coming from the exhaust for at least 10 minutes...car idles so much better and drives great now...I put half the can in the gas tank, about a third in the vacuum line, and the rest in the crankcase...should I change the oil soon now?

I've never done it, but just remove the tubing to the throttle body, with car running, put the seafoam through the TB, you can open the TB a little bit with that mechanism on it

There is a product which is in an aerosol can for cleaning TB's, etc. It might work better for TB cleaning.

i took the big grey nut off the brake booster and let the car suck a whole can of it out of there. let it sit a good 5-10 min cranked it up and the neighbors had to go inside from grilling there was so much smoke.
