  • Adding to crankcase oil is the #2 use of Sea Foam (in fuel is #1) by professional mechanics and DIYers. Great intro video on how to do it - super easy!
    #SeaFoamWorks
    Added to oil, Sea Foam liquefies heavier petroleum residues and deposits back into fluid so everything drains away when it's time to replace the oil and filter. Pour it in every oil-change interval to keep oil flow passageways cleaner and help the engine last longer!

    This is a great product. My 2002 Sienna has been burning oil like crazy (like scary 4 qts (almost gone) every 100 miles). I did a piston soak (24 hours) with seafoam (nothing was left in the cylinders after the soak which left me to believe it went inside down to the oil pan) and did an oil change after 500 miles. I replaced the PCV because I knew I had a ton of blow by with the oil burning and stuff. Added half a can as part of the oil change. Drove the van on more than 1k mile vacation trip checking oil every 100 miles and to my amazement, no oil burn and the oil stayed full all the time. My MPG went from 12 to 22 MPG as well. The heavy noise coupled with engine that seemed to be under a lot of load on a smooth flat road was replaced with smooth sound and performance like a new engine. This has 150K miles only but is 18 years old. I am thankful that my van is back to where it was and this half can seafoam will be part of my oil change from now on. This shit really works!!!

    I have been using Seafoam in my 2001 MB E320’s fuel system about 10 years now, every 6 months a full can goes to tank close to oil change. For the last 2 or 3 years I also use it in the crankcase, couple days before the oil change, my car takes a little more than 8 qts oil and I usually get 2 cans a week before the oil change, 3/4 of a can goes to crank case and the rest goes to fuel tank, like I said 100-200 miles in couple days then the oil change. I can swear after the oil change you can’t hear the engine from inside, quiet and idles like a clock, car is almost 20 years old, 220K on the clock.
    Seafoam is a good product.

It has 165000 miles on it but im worried because the crankcase had a thin layer of built up sludge in it thankfully no metal but some build up, so I'm skeptical when I ask will this product clean up my engine and solve this pressure issue? Running down the road in cruising gear oil pressure is 51 psi. What do you think?

  • @richh1576
    @richh1576 2 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    Seafoam is indeed a great product for sticking injectors and piston rings,.
    However there is a better way to prevent 'the sticking': simply change the oil BEFORE the receommended change-out. If youre driving mostly at full highways speeds and also drive at constant speeds, the recommended oil change-out is probably OK. If you are driving in city conditions and mostly for 'short trips' ... consider to change the oil at HALF the recommended interval ... so the carbon, varnish and other 'crap' doesnt build up 'behind' the piston rings ... and then cause adverse wear of the cylinder walls.

    If I use an electric oil extractor to change my oil through the dip stick, I know it will leave about 1% of oil behind. If I use seafoam, will the liquefied sludge be able to go through the thin tube on my oil extractor? Is it safe to leave behind that tiny 1% of oil?

      You can add to fuel and oil systems at the same time. Not sure what you mean by 1... If 1 can to each, adding 1 can to most oil systems is too much. For example, a 5 or 6 quart oil system should use half a can (no more than 5 to 8 ounces).

      Engine knock occurs in the chambers, so Sea Foam Spray treatments would work best. Adding Sea Foam to oil won't help knocking.
