There are so many different ways to introduce Seafoam's product- what path did you walk? I've used Seafoam on a few old M50 BMWs and saw a large difference. Newer cars with less than 150k that run only full synthetic I wouldn't think have any appreciable buildup

A 16 oz. bottle is perfect for 4oz. into the oil and 12 oz. into full fuel tank. I changed the oil after using half of fuel since I didn't want to drive with all that sludge in the oil. Engine was already running remarkably better. Drained oil color was very dark. I think the remaining half tank will work a little more on the injectors if the full cleaning is not already done. But the engine is running so much better, I am falling in love with this car all over again.

I did it with my integra through the vacuum lines and noticed a difference. Also the huge plumes of white smoke out the back. The people watching me leave must have been confused as hell

Our Honda Odyssey was idling luck a diesel truck after 100K miles. Dealer recommended valve readjustment for $500. I have applied Sea Foam exacly like I have done with my FR-S and it was running like new again. I don't think I will let them do valve adjustment, it is not needed. Just another Sea Foam story

with all vehicles moving towards hydraulically-adjusted valve lash, it's important to keep the oil clean. dirty oil gums up the adjusters, and leads to 'valve adjustment' requirements..

had at 2 cars so far that had similar symptoms. but those i corrected with more frequent oil changes.

Don't you worry about that treatment rusting other parts of the car? -

So, then you will take it to a car wash and have the girls do a 3 bucket wash to get the dirty river water off of it?



DAMN! That reminds me - I forgot to take ma meds this morning -

This week I've washed, clayed, and waxed the car, replaced the trunk, reverse, and dome lights with LED bulbs.

The LEDs in the dome light are so bright that they hurt to look at now hahaha.

Also got some Nokya 7000K halogen bulbs coming to replaced the DRL/High Beam bulbs. (I really doubt halogens can hit 7000K .. but we'll see)
