The bottle on the left.
(shamelessly stole image from another forum)



Looking for feedback on this stuff.

It's $20.15 in Canada. Should be about the same in the US.

Nope. No need.

I just do changes with quality synthetic oil at factory recommended intervals. A good oil will already have a robust additive package built-in to prevent sludge and clean out other harmful deposits in your engine.

I change my oil oftn as well and use synthetic oil, but I can only read so many glowing threads about Sea Foam that I believe there must be something worthwile about using it. Is the Toyota stuff the same but rebranded?

Save your money. Both are good products but your Toyo don't need it.
