- Seafoam engine flush i have heard alot of stories but after what it did to my engine seafoam motor treatment was a product that i wont ever forget i came in this test with alot of doubt so how did it turn out watch how to use seafoam motor treatment to clean your engine then see the results before and after can seafoam damage or hurt your car motor find out also it definitely had its work cut out for it with alot of build up of carbon long oil drain intervals also how to flush my engine with seafoam,marvel mystery oil mmo in my other videos i also use mobil 1 5w30 so watch another video can Lucas oil stabilizer provide protection for a worn out engine with bad knock or tick sound really loud noise well watch the video on product lucas heavy duty oil stabilizer vs knock or tick also motor medic motor flush or my fuel additives i used in test with nates interactive auto NIA #seafoam #lucasoilstabilizer #marvelmysteryoil #motormedicmotorflush

Have you tried gumout multi tune up
Yes check it out.
I died laughing like when I see those videos of a midget jump off a diving board and it makes that squeaky dog toy sound when they hit the water 😂😂😂😂🤷🏻♂️
I love this guy's southern accent
Great job! Thanks for sharing. I'm a very BIG fan of Seafoam. A lot of my yard equipment ran poorly, even after a tune-up Seafoam cleaned everything up and now all of the equipment runs like new. I'm extremely happy. The guys at the mower repair place said a lot of the problem is caused by 10% ethanol in modern gas, and this helps correct it. I'm sold!
Thank you i love when people share with the NIA community
SeaFoam recommends at least 100 miles of driving no more than 300 miles when adding to the crankcase not 3000.
You can keep seafoam in during the 3000 miles. I asked a seafoam rep.
They recommend those numbers so that they can sell more product.
No more than 300, That rep is full of sh!t
it has to be added before every oil change!!!
On the can it says add to crank case before or after oil change.
After would mean you can leave it in until your next oil change.
why worry about a clean engine if you are going to use a Fram oil filter
😂😂
Hahaha that's a good one
Damn ... You beat me to it
yeah fram is the worse filter ya can use
ik, not even from the US and I know that they are complete garbage on the inside
It's astounding how "poured on" that "buildup" looks on those rockers and how NOT discolored anything in there was. Almost like it wasn't actually having a problem with buildup in the first place.
Totally agree...it was the first thing I thought when he removed the valve cover. I think the engine was clean in the first place and he reversed the sequence of shots. That grime was "pasted" on to those rocker arms. I call RAT !
@@themessenger5868 I agree I think that engines biggest problem is the frame oil filter.
my thoughts exactly, actually looks pretty clean, except for what appears to be some grease smeared on it. I like how the grease is also smeared on the gasket surface area.
Looks like he hand cleaned it and tried to pull one over on us. Shame on him that's not how ya get subs. He could have had my but he'll no not after that stunt
Agree +1. It's a setup. Agree with all your observations, I thought the same thing. Plus, how come the underside of the rocker cover is dirty when the lifters etc are spotless?
You should have let us hear the engine run after having used Seafoam. I heard this engine in a previous video when you were cleaning the valves (great video). I personally used it on one of my engines and it loosened a sticky valve. I only use Seafoam periodically. I'll use MMO much more often to add a little extra lubricant. Typically 1000 miles before any oil change.
The oil pressure increased as well. I'm impressed. This is something I need to try on my truck. Thanks for the video!
That head is clean from what I’ve seen, since working on engines
I have the same e15 engine and i tried this seafoam and omg it actually cleaned my engine.
Thanks bro keep the good work up.
Thanks what can we try next?
The valve train looked pretty clean from the beginning just throwing out my opinion
Really clean, get a vehicle with 300 thousand + miles using cheap grade oil, then see what the results look like.
Thinking you are missing the point of the video
@@Lightningbom ?
I've been using seafoam in my oil
And gas in my car since 150000
Miles
Now at 298000 miles in my car
Runs great still.
Toyota or Honda?
Just do your oil changes and it'll stay clean
@@jjmccloud nope, this product is for cars/atvs that have sit for a while, and it should clean the engine out.
U realized u poured like 3/4 of an ounce in there right 😂😂😂😂
Dude never put 3oz in
Personal experience i have dumped a whole bottle in the motor for 300 miles and gotta say im impressed!
Haha I just put the whole bottle in too...🤞🏻
Thank you for adding the fact that you are watching your oil pressure while you are conducting this experiement
Thank you for sharing i appreciate your kindness
After i watched this video, I went to the kitchen and took my measurement cup to make sure what 3 ounces looks like.
😂
Really lol
Right lmfao I commented about the same 3/4 of an ounce he added 🤣🤣🤣
LOL
3 ounces is those little bottles that TSA will let you travel carry on with
Hey, I see you're using a FRAM oil-filter. There's been a number of TH-cam videos where people are cutting open various oil-filters to see how they're different from brand to brand, and FRAM is the crappiest quality by far. One guy cut open two different FRAM filters and found actual rust flakes in there.
-
That said, I'd been using FRAM for years and hadn't noticed any negative results, and others have said a similar thing. However, the video noted that the quality of the "Wix" and the "Napa Gold" seemed to be the absolute best, and those two oil filters are only an extra few dollars for my own make and model of vehicle, so I'm playing it safe and moving to those.
-
Just wanted to put that out there in case other people were interested in that kind of thing. It just doesn't make sense to me to use Mobil 1 -- full synthetic -- but then mix it with an oil-filter that has cardboard, paper, and rust-flakes in it.
Hey Nate, Brian over at Sea Foam recommends 1-1.5 ounces per quart. In your case, that would be "4-5" ounces. However, you put no more than an 1-1.5 ounces in the engine. Imagine if you used more/recommended amount!
Have been using sea foam since 2012 and love it in gas tank crank case and throttle hot soak spray
I've used Seafoam to store small engines. I put it in the tank as the motor starts to run out of gas. Then drain the carb next season. My snowblower is 11 years old and starts one pull every time.
Have a smallblock chevy that had been sitting , barely driven since 1995. Used to burn about a quart every 700 miles. Added sea foam for threet 200 mile oil changes and it stopped burning oil. Had that old oil smell when changing the oil that was 200 miles new. Also added some to my fuel and fouled my plugs. After a couple of initial spark plug foulings, the tops of my pistons were reasonably clean again. No more fouling. Impressive stuff!!!
Great story thanks for sharing with the NIA community and what can we try next?
Amazing results in the engine oil. It is letting my diesel Onan 2 cyl generator continue to run well with 19k hrs. Without it the valves stick and it misses and often runs on only 1 cylinder. I use it every 500 hrs religiously.
I got to say before anything that wasn’t 3 ounces lol
I was saying the same thing lol
Rodolfo Munoz I thought for sure he would have a measuring cup at least lmao he added maybe an ounce and a half 😂
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 @rodolfo
Teaspoon
@@F150fx2sporT 16 oz can... 3-1/2 to 4 oz's... about 1/4th of the can... (NOT 2 CAPFULLS...!)
I would recommend to change the oil filter after a few hundred miles after the oil change. I have cartridge oil filter rather than a spin on canister. With this type of filter you can really see how much gunk came loose as the filter was covered and probably clogged with that black gunk.
Yes! I gasped when he said he left it for 3000 miles !!!
I'm a big fan of Seafoam. I use it in all 3 of our vehicles. I use it in the gas tank, oil crankcase and to clean the carbon in the around the lifters.
For the little amount you used, I gotta say it did an excellent job.
On the the 5.3 Chevy engine.. I still had a rough idle after tune up wire and plugs.. engine hott i did one can spray in the throttle body and one sucked up the brake booster line to intake.. shut engine off hott soaked for 20 minuts.. start and run at 2k rpm till smoke cleared... engine runs smooth and with a strong idle... 100 percent satisfaction!
I had 140k miles on the truck just bought it.
That is really great thanks for sharing
Yes this engine is 30 years old
This helps others
Try some in the PCV valve before shutting the engine off for the soak. Also put some in the fuel for the injectors. Note: the tank does not have to be full.
Hey Nate, I appreciate the effort!
Don't worry about the nitpickers, usually they're guys that cannot see the good in things.
Nice job on the video.
I'd love to see if a transmission additive actually does anything good. Thanks again.
I greatly appreciate your kindness its so positive and uplifting. Check out new oil testing never seen before th-cam.com/video/8GMw6p6-UTI/w-d-xo.html
I used half a can of sea foam trans tune in a 2000 nissan maxima trans that had a shift flare on each gear change. It helped it a little bit. When I drained the fluid out, i dropped the pan and cleaned the magnets, and changed the screen. I refilled with castrol transmission fluid, and put in a bottle of lucas. The shift flare is completly gone after a month of driving w/ the lucas and clean fluid. I haven't any issues since I did this a year ago. Car has 300k mi on it.
@@4dscdriver got any pics of this?
@@wildestcowboy2668 pics of what? I tried these products because I had nothing to lose, and it worked. It may not work for everyone.
@@4dscdriver before I answer you define transmission shift flare, in your own words please.
I noticed a significantly quiter 5.7 v8 on my boat with seafoam. Also noticed the oil had a lot of suspended carbon on first change afterward, it definitely cleans it out. Good stuff
Thanks Nate, as usual great work showing us what works!
Thanks for watching
Looks like you rubbed dirt on the rocker arms on the before shot
It’s the same dirt that’s on the gasket mating surface as well, outside part, both edges.
My favorite part - "Let's break'r loose. Uhn!" Haha
What can improve our test
😂😂😂👌🏼👌🏼
Bro I was dying lmao
He sound like he's from Kin-tucky
Sounds like Scotty K. was helping out 😆
My own experience in a 1994 4.0 jeep 125k miles . It cleaned so well it plugged the oil filter one whole bottle was used
Its amazing to see how clean the rockers are. May i know whether this(seafoam) will have any effect on the seals and gaskets to harden or deteriorate over long use of seafoam. TQ, SIR
Just used it as a fuel cleaner. Also put 1 oz in the oil tank.Then got an oil change. Car has better pick up and performance.
Thats really great are you also a youtuber?
You hot🔥
brah, is that 3 oz or 3ml?
Seafoam worked good on my used honda I bought with a p2646 code. Brought the oil pressure up so Vtec would work right.
So, having a 2013 Subaru Crosstrek would it be recommend to add 3oz to my oil? Thank you
When I saw the FRAM filter, you lost all credibility...............
I was about to say the same thing lol!
lol, another drone propagandized by the old internet vid from the 90's of the guy cutting apart the Fram filter.
@@land7776 Our local Advanced Auto parts stopped selling the garbage filters
@@carlyoho3 lol, they probably rebranded it as a Advanced Auto filter. You better tell Walmart and all the other places that sell it ..
You're all clueless... you go ahead and spend 25 on a filter.
Warning, I had a head go POP after using sea foam because the previous owner never changed the oil so there was a ton of thick black gunk buildup all over the engine and it plugged an oil passage so it dropped a couple valves. But it definitely cleans it out. Putting it in your gas steam cleans the pistons and injectors as well. Good stuff!
Yes, only use a small amount of Seafoam as some oil passageways will get clogged.
I don't care what anyone else thinks about Seafoam. I use it after personally witnessing fix a problem with my 1987 Nissan 300zx that hesitated to start. I put in new plug wires, distributor, spark plugs, and couldn't figure out why it struggled to start. After I saw a video about Seafoam, I tried it out and did just like the video. My car always started right up, ran great, and made me a believer in Seafoam. I use it on my motorcycle and 2 other vehicles I have.
if you clean the gunk out of the oil passages, the oil pressure goes down not up. more oil flow, less restrictive.
The more pressure the less the flow rate sir
that's what he said @@NATESINTERACTIVEAUTO
Im sorry what who said?
I was explaining pressure/ flow rate or maybe you meant him trying to correct me saying my oil pressure went up the viscosity of the additive could allow this we could break down the engine to see exactly
NATES INTERACTIVE AUTO I was acknowledging that why you said was the same thing as the comment just the inverse of it. He said more flow, less pressure. You said more pressure, less flow. It’s the same thing lol
Wtf? He said add 3 ounces and then only added about a tablespoon. Drive around for 3000 miles! Lol
I had an intermittent lifter ticking. Sometimes on startup, sometimes not, sometimes while sitting idle for 5 minutes, other times not. My 07 Silverado 5.3 turned a complete 180 after adding 1/2 a can to my oil. The lifter ticking left almost immediately! I actually can’t believe it, no ticking, smoother idle and overall better performance. I’ve never been a mechanic in a can kind of guy, but any older vehicle I own, I will always use this stuff!
My F-150 had a lifter tick until I used a can of the intake spray. It’s been gone for almost a year now.
@@dbucha4 - mine ended up coming back… lol. I wound up dropping the oil pan and it turned out to be the pickup tube o-ring. Replaced that, normal oil pressure and ticking gone. What a pain
Thanks for going through all that love the video. Trying it on my car
I have watched before and after and both look exactly the same. Except for the bits on top of the rockers in the before and they would not be normally there. Looks like they have been dabbed on there with a paint brush. As the normal flow of the oil would wash them down And they would work their way into the filter.
I can’t stop laughing at the noise you made when you took the drain plug out haha
Lol yeah
Scotty Kimler would be proud for his grunt imitation.
Omg i read this 2 seconds before he did it and busted up laughing!
Chris Fix Lvl 2 . keep going
Amazing! Great vid with the before stats! Thank you!
Very good video thank you for the before and after shots of the rocker arm assembly.
Thanks alot
2:17 The next scotty kilmer with the sound effect. Nice video
Thanks alot
Scotty Kilmer is a pretty good mechanic in my opinion
Yeah he is good the chrisfix deal was just a mistake that anyone could make
Thats funny
Ahahahahahaha
My engines been misfiring for about 2 months. I did a LiquidMoly flush and I think it clogged something. I bought a timing chain, but I first tried 3 ounces of sea foam in the oil 2 weeks later no more misfire and the engine has power again.
how did you do the connections to check the oil pressure?
Thanks for a great video , I knew seafoam was good but seeing the results was amazing 👍.
A very good mechanic recommended Seafoam to me 30 years ago. I have used it in my gas but did not know you could add it to the oil also. Thanks for going to all the trouble to test this. I will definitely put some in my oil now.
You'll have to change the oil fairly quickly after adding seafoam to it.
@@zaintahir9038 that's a lie
I think you meant 300 miles not 3000?!
Also that head starting out is CLEAN!
Just found your channel and subscribed. I’m getting ready to do this to my 6.0 Silverado. Lifter is sticking but it only does it for a few minutes in the morning and on the way home. Hopefully this will get it done. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for your time and support
Would you like to see if a engine can run on straight isopropyl alcohol live
No, but I would like to see a really nasty/gunned up motor run on straight seafoam in the motor, just to see how strong that stuff is.
Thanks for posting this helping me maintain my subaru
Use a wix! Those fram filters are junk
Yeah in the comments i say use wix xp the fram was only for the flush
Yeah wix xp arecthe best i say i only use fram for oil flush
AMEN to that! Fram sucks, and chunks of the Fram media has caused engine failure.
I think we all watched the same oil filter video from dorite fabrication.
Yeah what can we try next
Are you trying to get a seafoam sponsorship? Wow those rockers are clean. I put it on my tacos, you should see my Insides😂
I got some bad gas pulling my travel trailer with my 2018 F-150, it was stalling out and rough idle. A mechanic told me to use a good treatment and YES Seafoam did the trick, now it's just like new. I keep a bottle with me now just for the bad gas "on the road" situation.
Love this product👍🤙👌
Wow , very cleaned . Thanks
I appreciate you
That was no where near three ounces
Why would the oil pressure go up after using it? If the internal workings of the engine has deposits that should make the pressure go up and cleaning them out should make it go down.
what does the solvent do to bearings, etc though?
That's clean to start with.
It was pretty bad
@@NATESINTERACTIVEAUTO I fix cars for a living I've seen bad
Yeah i understand check out my new video gumout direct injection remarkable
I have used this seafoam for years
Follow instructions this was for purposes of the video
I have never used it but now I'm going to have to try it thanks for the video
Thanks be sure to check out the new video
I used it in 2022 . In my fuel tank and spray it in my air intake going the the valve intake . I have gdi gmc 3.0 liter gas engine . Was miss firing due to carbon build up . Now i have to missfire zero . Pretty good so far . I will try to poor it in my engine oil and drive it for few km to clean the inside . Of my engine
3000 miles??? Isn't it recommended to only drive 200-300 miles?
200-300 miles per valve...
I like how the engine is revving higher in the after test where the oil pressure got better.
Because my oil pressure gauge would go up the higher the rpm too. I never can trust this guys tests.
I had an older Ford 350 engine 5.8 L pickup and the Throttle box high rise Plenum would always get gunked up and had to be taken off. Seafoam cleaned it and kept t clean without taking it off!
Yes It Works, Thanks., merci.
Thanks for the video! Great job!
Thanks for your support
Need to use Sea form before a smog check
I use Seafoam in my gas tank on my motorcycle that has carburetors to keep them clean and stabilize the gas during winter storage. I use a different stabilizer for my fuel injected motorcycle that is specifically made for fuel injectors. I have never put it in my engine oil. I would not consider doing this in a variable valve timed engine. The dirt particles could clog the small screen in the valve timing system. Best advice. Change your oil regularly and you won’t need to clean your engine. LOL
So did the oil pressure go that hi after the oil change or did it raise gradually
Ive had several people tell me Seafoam really helps with high mileage engines. I'm about to try it in my 89 land cruiser with 230k miles. I will report back.
@@fadedbluejeans3680 ok my test isnt done yet, if you'll notice I made that post 2 days ago.
@@fadedbluejeans3680 1 thing I didnt notice is that after putting seafoam in the fuel system after driving for 30 min I noticed it running smoother & the throttle is more responsive. So it did have some immediate results. I just dont know about the seafoam I poured in crank case, itll be when I change oil b4 I know..
@@Rosko311 update??
60 psi oil pressure is really good
used seafoam in the oil of a 1993 ford f250 with the 5.8 that had 179000 on it and had low oil pressure but did not burn oil either on start up or in use. After less than 100 miles the oil pressure had jumped from the bottom of the Normal on the gauge to the middle of the gauge and held there. The oil at the change was extremely dirty after running the seafoam for 700 miles. Ran that oil and filter for 500 miles and changed it again and the oil was very dark yellow. The oil pressure remained at the middle of the gauge. After the 500 mile oil change the oil stayed clean(er) for almost 2000 miles and was again changed at 3000 after that having the same oil pressure and no issues with burning oil.
do you have owner manuals repair manuals for ur nissan tamarind engine? i also have one i dont have any repair manuals i wanna change my head gasket.
I've never put in in my engine always in my gas tank and I use the whole bottle been using that way for years
I only use Heet in gas tank.
RPMs are higher on the after oil pressure shot. That would increase psi no matter what condition the engine was in.
2:02 vs 4:34 doesn't sound much different and I don't see a rpm Guage. How can you tell the rpm is increased?
For starters 1 ounce is about a wobble pop shot glass full...dependent on which watering hole you frequent + -
What did your oil look like before hand and after? Also that wasn't 3 ounces.
I suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome Nate, will Seafoam help? Will it raise my blood pressure? For the love of God find the period on your keyboard.
WARNING: HEALTH HAZARD :
Do not drink Seafoam while while operating machinery ( or making videos. ) .
This might be the same guy that saw the 3 rainbows.... wow!
Wheel Horse twin cylinder lawn tractor - high oil consumption this spring (smoking). It was fine when last run last fall. We theorized that a ring had stuck over the winter. Added SeaFoam to the crankcase and within another four or five hours of operation - no more high oil consumption. Coincidence? Maybe, but, I like SeaFoam.
Good product
Maybe I'm wrong about this but from what I've always understood is that if you went up on the weight of the oil it would help increase oil pressure due to the thickness of the oil and help the seals and moving parts stay lubricated better. Especially on motors with over 100k miles...
Thanks for the info what can we try next
You don’t want to change viscosity of your oil use whatever manufacturer recommends on today’s engines clearances are very specific and that’s why you stay to what is recommended. Back in the old days your theory is much more applicable. Pretty much anything worked as far as oil goes
Vvt is why new cars are affected butthey still give a large range just base it off there charts so what can we try next
Seafoam I love that product
Like someon said below, no matter the outcome, Fram kills all the credibility. Repeat with K&N, Wix, or Mobil 1 filter. A mechanic with Fram is malpractice. But Sea foam works.
I put a whole can of seafoam in a Chevy LS 6.0 that holds 6 quarts of oil with 258, 000 miles on it and drove it and about 50 miles then change the oil and I cannot believe the sludge that came out with the oil... it definitely helped the oil pressure and their engine run smoother...
Yup! Seafoam is an amazing product. Been using it for years!
Seafoam never tried but i would like to
I keep imagining you looking like the guy from Tokyo drift
Which guy?
@@NATESINTERACTIVEAUTO did you figure this one out yet?
I have a 2005 Chevy Silverado. The engine would peck and knock about half the time. I put 3 oz in and so far so good. I've tried Lucas Oil treatment to no avail.
What other products should we test
Drain out an appropriate amount of oil 1:1 pour whole bottle in and run 15 miles.
Same results just faster.
Whatever you do DONT run a whole can longer than I suggested as Seafoam cuts oil viscosity
Follow manufacturer's specifications
I bought a Ford F 150 (1999) and the engine sounded like a diesel engine. I put 6 oz. of Sea Foam in the oil crankcase and by the next day it sounded like a brand-new engine. This was over a year ago and it still sounds great .
Thanks for sharing what others products have you had success with
So if my engine is making a loud noise u think the seafoam would help fix it ..?
@@Trill89Atwg Depends on the issue. If the noise is due to worn or broken internal parts, no. If it's due to sticky hydraulic lifers, yes.
I honestly can't believe I watched this , I actually feel a little dumber !!!!
I just found it tonight want my time back
I can verify this works. Now you know too. That's not dumber.
Listen in the background and you can hear the idle is higher when he claims higher oil pressure than in the first oil pressure scene
I use a sound meter in other test also i strap the meter in the same place plus as i move the camera the sound may change even roll the window down but it doesn't matter to me if it does or doesn't and increases in oil pressure means decrease in flow rate so thanks have a great day
I noticed the very same thing. Not dissing Sea Foam, because it's great for diesel injectors, but this dude seems like a snake oil salesman...
Lol i dont sale any product
The engine is definitely revving higher in the 2nd clip
Use it and it keeps my car acting new and strong. It works on my 2001 Infiniti with over 165,000 miles on it.
Thats impressive thanks for sharing your experience with the NIA community also what other products should we test next?
