I like to use it occasionally. really cleans the carbon out of the intake manifold / valves. I don't use it in the fuel or oil though. For fuel i use Lucas Fuel Injection Cleaner. It has a upper cylinder lubricant in it also.

I've used it - but my internals are pretty clean so it doesn't do much for me.

It's supposed to go in the oil, gas tank, and brake booster line - and you want to check your sparkplugs afterwards (so ive read)

Its good stuff, as is MMO. Though carbon build up on port mounted injector engines is not much of a concern unless you have used low quality oil and fuel for years. Other wise a Seafoam cleaning will likely only be need once in your engines lifetime.

Do it when you're due for an oil change. It's not meant to stay circulating in there.


So do a full seafoam - check the spark plugs, change the oil etc. - also why it's advised to be low on gas when you put it in the tank.

Some people just have to be a smart ***. Yea it is a lubricant / oil that is good for the rings. And i am a firm believer in the lucas products. I have been using them for years on the street and at the track.
