Re: Sea Foam (Jdmbsixteen)
Yes, in the oil cap. If you read the directions it tells you how many ounces to pour for each quart of oil. I can't remember if it is 1 ounce or 1.5 ounces per quart. Its written on the bottle...
I just did this last week. I would recommend driving around with the sea foam for a few days and then change your oil. Driving around with it will allow it to work its way through the entire system.

Re: Sea Foam (Quad-Damge)
I put it in the intake manifold first and didn't notice much of a difference and didn't get much smoke either.
I put the remaining 2/3rds through the gas tank and crankcase. Now that made a difference

Re: Sea Foam (kommon_sense)
The directions are on the bottle and the best way to do it is to follow the directions. I used only 1 bottle and did the brake booster method, about a 1/3 of the bottle. I used another 3rd in the crank case and a 3rd in the fuel. It smoked like crazy for about 10-15 minutes, drove it hard for about 10 to 15 minutes then changed my oil and my sparkplugs.
My car runs so much smoother than ever before and I plan on doing this 1 more time when I change oil in about 2000 miles.
This stuff actually works

Yep, right where it says engine oil. I think the can calls for 1/3 pint for up to 5 quarts. You need to change your oil after a day or two. I didn't change it right away and it thinned my oil and I burned it all off!

Have you seen plugs that have been Sea Foamed? All the carbon build-up sticks to to the plugs after all of it is burning in the combustion chamber. I don't know about you, but having plugs that have deposits on them do not bode well for your motor's performance.
Maybe you should check your plugs and see if they need to be changed. And as for changing plugs after every oil change, they only cost $2 a piece, if you can't do that well there is nothing more I have to say.

Re: Sea Foam (imitati0n)
Something else you can use to clean your cylinder walls is drain all your oil out and put in Auto Trans fluid and then cruise around town for a bit and then drain it and change the oil like you normally would. You'll be amazed at how clean your oil is going to be after you change it!

No, thats becuase automatic trans fluid is a detergent oil. Ever seen a auto tranny openned up ? It's spotless on the inside. Teh auto tranny fluid in the motor is an old trick, put a teaspoon in each cyclinder and let it rip. RX-7 guys do this too to g et the rotor lubed up for the first start on a new motor.

You are not supposed to rev the **** out of it, you are supposed to drive it nice and smoothe, for about 30 minutes, I left mine in an entire day to get it all through the system. but you are not supposed to step on it with this stuff in your engine.

Ok from what Ive read it seems hes got it almost down accept after you put it into your vacuum hose your supposed to let it smoke a bit and turn the car off. Then, pour some into the 1/3 gas tank and then the 1/3 into the Crank or the "oil cap place" on top. You can even do it through the tube that holds your dipstick. Turn on the car, and drive it hard for about 10 min. Come back, and do an oil change.

Re: (ricerwannab)
Like ricerwannab said. Seafoam really thins your oil. I would not drive more the a few miles....then change oil and filter especially if you run **** thin 5/30 oil..

I did not drive it 500 miles in one day, I would take it for a 15 minute drive and get home, and then just go take for another drive to try and get it all through the engine, I drove it at the most 50 miles with seafoam in the system
