To people who don't know what seafoam does, or the extent of the smoke that it usually creates, here's another small clip for everybody's amusement:

wow.. hows the drive afterwards?

***ASG14*** · 09-27-2006, 12:59 AM

AH AHHAHAHAH! Nice! I keep forgeting to video mine!

Seaform is awesome. The difference is like night and day. Don't forget to clean out your MAFS while you're at it.

How do you do it? I think my engine needs a good cleaning soon, due to my parents always running the cheapest (and lowest-quality) gas they could find anywhere. Usually that's ARCO.

And when I ask "How do I do it," I really mean "how do I do it." All my experience is with 1960's carbureted Volkswagens where I'd just remove the air cleaner and pour the stuff straight down the carb, I'm totally at a loss on all this new electronic FI stuff. The car is a 2002 Corolla, btw. I assume pouring a whole can of the stuff into the gas tank and nowhere else isn't going to accomplish much.

well, the using it in your gastank will clean your injectors, and in your carnkcas, it will clean the sludge out of your engine

and for FI cars, you pour it in the brakebooster vacuum hose

make a search and you'll find pictures of where exactly you can put it in

just for FI cars?? ive heard stories of people putting it in all 3 in the regular NA cars...

Not just FI. You could put it in the brake booster line, in the crank case, and in the gas tank for NA vehicles.

Super Kaioken · 10-04-2006, 12:44 AM

i've never poured it in my crankcase before, I was always weary of that.

***Eye8Pussies*** · 10-04-2006, 01:14 AM

FI = fuel injection guys...

My car feels like it drives smoother after an oil change

and seafoam

My gas mileage started going to crap when i used the advanced Mobil 1 for 5000 miles.

I think i'm gonna stick to 3-4 K oil changes.

touringcamry · 10-04-2006, 01:26 AM

Mobil 5000 is just regular dino oil
Mobil 7500 is a synthetic blend with maybe 20-25% synthetic

i know, i used the synthetic Mobil 1. It's that advanced SuperSyn with the gold cap. supposed to guarantee 15K miles but i guess they didn't explain how good your car would be running.

Remember to change your filer every 5000-7500 miles & top up. That's about as long as they can stand it.
12,000 miles is pretty much what m1 5w-30 synthetic should last before the UAO's have started tanking & it's time to change it in your average toy v6. Be sure to do a good oil flush before hand. That helps greatly.
