I've got a 94 EX with about 88000 miles on the clock. I bought it used at 82000. I'd like to keep this car in tip top shape as long as possible, so I've been considering using seafoam. There isn't any rough idle or anything else wrong that I can tell, at least no difference from when I bought it and it seems strong. Is seafoam good idea for preventative matinence on my car, or is it best when there is a problem? I don't want to waste my time or risk anything, but from what I read, this stuff works well. However, I'm a new DIYer and wanted your opinions.Here's what I plan to do:

1. run 1/3 of the bottle slowly through intake manifold- using either PCV valve or brake booster. Which is easier/better for my F22B1? I assume the pictures I saw of the civics are similar to the accord engine hoses. Then wait 10 minutes and run it hard.

2. pour 1/3 of bottle into crankcase and drive for a few miles. Then change oil and sparkplugs for good measure.

3. pour remaining 1/3 into gas tank and enjoy a revitalized car.

Any thoughts or things I should know? I'm particularly concerned about how/where to pour it into the intake manifold since there is more than one choice. Thanks.

 

I personally used the brake booster...you will need a funnel and about 5 inches of spare vaccuum line...just be careful that you don't pour too much that you kill the motor...

i've also heard that you are supposed to leave the seafoam in the oil for a period of 100-200 miles before changing the oil and/or spark plugs...apparently it's for working the seafoam around a little bit...

other than that, you should be set...there's definitely a noticeable improvement after using the seafoam...the engine just seems to run so much smoother...

 

what is seafoam?

Seafoam is a liquid that can be used in cars to help break up carbon deposits and sludge. It really does work wonders.

Here's a long thread singnig its praises https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1215326

is there any possibility that putting seafoam in the crankcase would contribute to oil burning?

 

good stuff!!
