Seafoam Spray Meets Engine With Over 300,000 Miles!!! Holy Smokes, Batman!

- My daily driver, a 1992 Saturn SL2 that i have owned for over 13 years. Using Seafoam Spray to clean the throttle plate, intake manifold, intake valves and combustion chamber on this old engine.
In the 13 years i have owned this car, it will occasionally start to feel a little weak in the mid-range RPMs. When it does, i know it's time to clean the upper engine and intake. I have used brake clean shooting in the PCV hole many times, using my thumb to prevent vacuum leaks, and it works great, but this is a better way. This will also help if you have a stuck throttle plate.
Though not necessary with an upper engine cleaning on most cars, this engine is well worn, including the piston rings, so i will be changing the oil soon after the filming of this video. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
300k miles? this isnt a car, its a trophy. mad respect, man, mad respect.
You people bashing him for what he drives are the scum of the earth. Not everyone is fortunate enough to buy a new car. He obviously cares for his vehicles considering he has over 300K miles on it. You have my respect man. And thank you for your time in making this informational video.
Hey, thanks for the comment, and for appreciating the work put into the video! Most of these people talking shit have no videos of their own, and likely don't have the skills to get a car to 300K.
rocbola N just a suggestion. Check out BG44K it's about $20.00 a can but the best on the market. Just put it in the gas tank. You can Google this product. By the way great video. Always good to see someone who takes care of there car.
SL2s have near the highest aerodynamic and fuel efficiency of comparable cars of it's time.
Chris Armstrong We all can't be poor bro
yea my car is near 300000 and 20 years old and it works fine i will drive it to the end.I have no need for new car
Only a Real man or woman for that matter could take a car to 300k. I look at cars like this as a badge of honor. The car payment that this genius does Not have speaks volumes.
@@noname-lk5ys have you ever changed your transmission fluid?
333,000 Miles as of last week. 95 Honda Del Sol original engine with rebuilt head and new piston rings / bored out, etc.... it's original parts all the way around just keep it up, took care of it. I replace what needs to be replaced and clean IACV, etc. etc. Runs strong, fast and solid. I want to try this seafoam stuff...
My 2001 Toyota Tacoma v6 4wd quad still runs and drives great!! It has 317k, I bought it at 75k. Preventative maintenance does go a long way to extending the quality life of a motor and overall system. But, I'll tell you this .... it did seem to run A LOT better after I paid it off three years after I initially purchased it back in 06. 😁
Ps.. thanks for including us female motorheads. ♡
@@MikeKollin those Hondas are excellent cars. I owned one right before I bought my Toyota. Loved it!!
@@Odin851 I have!! Omg....that was a nightmare. I learned the hard way, DO NOT use synthetic transmission fluid.
I’m jealous of your engine bay it’s so well maintained
i dont know why everyone is bashing this mans car i thought it was in pretty decent shape for 300k
Nate Eller I agree, man, that was a clean engine compartment
Most of the Saturns in the midwest have already been put to rest. I have a lot of respect for the owner(s), this one is in good shape!
I have a 2000 that's a hell of a lot worse lol
that engine bay is mint
I hope my truck is in as decent of shape at 300,000 miles I'm at 202,000 now
I came here to see Sea Foam in action. I saw a great example of that! Well done video. Forget the haters. Thanks for taking the time out of your day to record, edit, and post your videos. Thumbs up from me!
Hey, thanks man. You got a descent channel yourself.
Thanks dude!
super clean engine bay
It's unreal how clean it is, 300k 🤔
Zee Man just gotta clean it man
look at the headliner.
Yip
@@wwv you mean head liner under hood? It's only a head liner. I'd your stuck under it
Kudos to you for keeping up your commitment to regularly maintaining your daily. Most people give up at 100,000 and feel it’s a piece of crap. It’s their own fault for giving up on maintenance.
140 is my cutoff. After 140 miles,. swicthes, suspension, hinges, motors in the windows, levers, basically any moving parts will show signs of wear or are near failing.
To those talking crap about the condition and age of the car: You clicked on a video that clearly states the car has over 300K in the title. Lol. Were you expecting a brand new Lexus?
Oh, and i faced a camera right at the muffler. You can clearly see the rusty broken metal, and the turn down tailpipe. It's not a "fart can".
rocbola unfortunately people are stupid
I just bought an 84 e30 & the odometer is stuck at 322k but it runs good and its fun to drive so fuck em haha
Mr. Right you can't fix stupid.....
Yep, I'm pretty sure this was a product review/test, not about his car. Everybody's A.D.D. makes them forget why they clicked the button to watch this in the first place
rocbola your engine is clean as hell. you clearly take care of the mechanics and that's all that matters
The Saturn twin cam motor was a rev happy, strong unit! The concept of the cars was great! Plastic body panels was a genius idea. Saves weight and cost over steel. Easy replacement after accident damage, too!
Actually they are polymer panels, the same material used on stealth aircraft and they use them on modern Corvettes as well. Just not easy to find them as much anymore unfortunately.
I love that your Saturn has over 300k on it. I still regret selling my 94 SL2 back in 2009 with around 180k on it, it was the most reliable and easy to work on car that I have ever owned.
People hating on you but you're just chillin bumping your subs and enjoying life. Keep it up bro
username does not check out.
That ol girl sounds healthy, glad to see someone who actually sees the value in properly maintaining a daily driver.
I've gotten my car to 400k with minimal issues ever, and I am so proud of it. Be proud of your 300k car man it's a rare sight to see these days. Also Seafoam is the best!
Talking trash about a car with over 300,000 miles? WHY?!? This man has the intelligence and mechanical skill to keep his cars going. Good for you sir! I have a 09 Maxima and 13 Altima with over 230,000 miles on them and I'll be driving them until the wheels fall off! Years without a car payment is alright with me!!
After using Seafoam, my car gained at least 2HP, the rip in my seat is gone, and ice cream tastes sweeter. Thanks, Seafoam!
YouStupidBunny my schlong grew 2-3" after seafoam.
also a cure for ED
Shawn Dufresne uhh what how do u apply my friend is asking
I was sat taking a dump while watching this, i had to stand up to finish it off and im 4kg lighter now.....sweet. thank you seafoam
YouStupidBunny im sure it did muppet
Man that's a clean ass engine bay for 300k. Nice battery setup and intake as well
he is running a yellow top battery. and has tires that have tread on them. I don't have a problem with that. I have had a few trucks over 300k. young punks spend 50 know on a nice truck. I spent 50k on a house. guess which one is worth more in 5 years.
Jeremy Owings the truck since the ass is gonna fall out of the hohsing market. Lol. Idiotic analogy
50K on a house? Did it comes with a mattress in every room and crack pipes in the sinks? lol...
robby844 houses on average double every 10years.
Cars in general are NOT an appreciating asset (you dont count things like ferrari 250gto's ).
Your comment says youre the idiot.
Jeremy Owings i
It’s much smarter to drive a hoopti and buy a house than to live with one’s parents and drive a 50k truck.
The drive footage makes me feel like I'm 16, playing gran turismo for the first time, with the cheapest car I could afford. love it.
Screw the haters. This guy kept his car running for over 300k miles. Nothing but respect. It looks new under the bonnet so it's obviously well maintained.
Well his piece of shit is paid for. I would rather have a piece of shit that is paid for than to buy a new piece of shit with a monthly car note.
LaRon Lowe you could buy a better car than this for 500.00
MajorBigBudz u r dumb
Robert Romero no np you are the dumb one
What does it matters if you're paying it or not? I mean, you're paying it, and it will be payed for some day. Better to have something nice you'll eventually pay off entirely than have a piece of shit that you've already payed for and never even makes you smile
Here in IL, the cars rust by the time you pay them off. Then, they depreciate in value very fast. If you have the skills to keep an old Saturn on the road, that's the cheapest way to go. I paid it off 14 years ago. And this car makes me smile every time i am at the gas pump. It doesn't hurt that it has a 5 speed with a few minor engine upgrades and 1000 watts running to a 15" subwoofer.
That has got to be one of the nicest 90's saturns in existence lol I give you props for keeping that thing so nice.
mad props!
Cleanest engine I have ever seen for a car with 300k. Good for you! Keep it up!
I had a first-year production 1991 Saturn SL2. I finally donated it in 2009 after some uninsured motorist took out the passenger side. . . Total bummer. . .
It had 274,000 miles on it on the day I donated it.
That first year production had hand-bent headers, all cast aluminum valve cover and intake manifold. It had an anti-sway bar that was over 1-inch thick. The transmission, in sport mode, would engage the torque converter lock in 1st gear, and always chirp the tires when shifting into 2nd gear.
In it's life span, it took two alternators, two serpentine belts, two catalytic converters, one radiator with hoses, three transmission services (super easy,) and one fuel pump. Not a whole lot of expensive work ever needed. . .
From 1991 through 2009, I sure got every penny of use out if it.
SL2 is one of my favorites!
@@korbendallas4232 Mine is a 95 SL2, blue black like his but I have a nicer interior, a set of RPF1 15X7's with 205 55 R15 Yokohama Advan performance tires, a Seibon carbon fiber hood, Mfactory Limited slip diff and fidanza billet aluminum flywheel , ported intake manifold, bigger TBI, Cold air intake, H&R sport springs KYB GR2 struts an energy suspension master bushing kit and a glowshift A Pillar gauge cluster and digital tach with LED. Gonna do a port and polished head , deshrouding, dual intake cam performance build and precision turbo with 12-13 PSI of boost. in the next 6 months. I'm semi retired and i've owned the car 17 years, and my dad gave it to me after he had it 10 years, just hope it doesn't get hit though...lol
Dude sick! Thank you for the demonstration! I am about to do the same to my trailblazer now and see how it goes! By the way your car is in great condition considering the miles, keep up the good work!
(Gets pulled over by cops)Police: what the hell do you think you’re doing?
Man: The seafoam can told me to drive aggressively!
Sounds pretty good for an engine with 300,000 miles!
You can say that again
rocbola 300K miles speaks volumes. Ya got style, keep up the good work. Just keep pocketing your money you saved because you looked after your daily driver.
Don't hate guys, I bet you can't drive car for 300k miles like this guy did in his car for 13 years.
Oh I dunno, I had a Caddy Fleetwood with 333,000 when I finally got rid of it and the only stuff I ever added to it was stp about every 6 months.
RoleAce I drove my Toyota Cressida over 300k
@@lordtigranes9877 my 84 cressida has barely 200k :)
I've got a 02 Toyota Camry with 334k on it. Stll gets 31mpg and son has it now. Found an 08 Rav4 with 24k on it that I snapped up, expecting great things from this as well.
I had a 1996 Saturn SL1, I used seafoam every so often and it worked wonders. Also, yours is in great shape for over 300,000 miles and soundin' and lookin' good!
I had a 1998 Saturn for 15 years,,Was original owner....drove me all over the USA...never a problem...got totally destroyed by a drunk driver in a parking lot in 2013,,,came out from shopping..police were all over his butt...trying to run away...Insurance gave me $1200....wow ...I miss my Saturn !!! Good job on the engine..super clean !!!!
Sooo much smoke!..lol. Looked like you had a bunch of stoners camped out in your trunk. Pretty impressive to still have that car running with 300k miles. Thanks for sharing the video.
we get it...your car vapes
yeah.... but the real question its what flavor?
car looks good for 300 k wish everyone took care of there vehicles like you ..good vid,bud
I'm impressed. You didn't actually give it a full treatment and yo9u seemed to get good results. I'm also impressed that you're getting over 300,000 miles out of the little rig. Good job. You must be doing something right.
Holy cow that's one clean engine bay! Makes me miss my SC2!
those early Saturn's are sweet. I think people forget that those were good cars
defmud80 1991 came with headers from the factory also 😎
why are all of you haters worried about him and his car like tf you don't like his car grt your own fix it up like u want it most of you guys don't even have a car to begin with or own shifty ass cars
nice video, car sounds soild
great editing to keep it short
appreciate it
Seafoam is awesome btw
I used to put one qt of transmission fluid in the gas tank on my vehicles one a month it was supposed to help keep the injector clean. I know we used to water wash the Lm2500 we had on the ships we build soap and water. I know this worked because i got to look at the blades after we water washed the turbine you could tell the diffrence. so what ever you used if it works for that is all that counts. Thanks for the video.
Damn man that engine looks super well looked after! Nice video thanks for making it
i have a 94 sl with over 700k, those cars are the best.
No there not bro BMW life
CHINO BARRAZA I hope thats a joke..
Post a picture
700k on the frame but on his 6th engine
ive seen a ford the odo went back to 0, not sure if it was the same engine or 2nd or maybe 3rd
Congrats to your Saturn with 300k+!! Respect!
Very nice car for the miles, that engine bay is clean as hell. Great video!
great engine. I worked for Saturn in the early 90's and had them with over 400k on the clock. I still have customers with first generation one's that I service and they are still running great.
Add me to the list at well, I'm in So Flo and have a 95 SL2 with modifications, suspension, MFactory LSD, wheels and tires, etc, but the engine is just bolt on's and header, high flow cat, etc, at 230K and going to do a full port and polish performance build this year on it only because I want to turbocharge it and I don't trust turbocharging an 230K engine...lol
Awesome video...thanks for posting. I have found SeaFoam to work as well on old engines. My truck is just under 290k and I use it regularly. A lot of people comment about using water in a similar manner ( my Dad told me about it YEARS ago ) but I have never tried it. BMW actually built a production car that used water injection to cool the intake charge for more power (not to clean the engine though). Anyway, thanks again.
Hello 👋👋
I'm in love wit dose amps!
I had that in my first car too....arrhh the memories!
Thanks for the vid!
Good job keeping it going after so long and so many miles!👍👍👍
I don't care what kind of car you own. It's *yours*, take care of it like you have pride in yourself and your car. Polish your paint, seal and wax it, maintain the engine with great quality products. That's your baby, treat her right and she'll do right by you.
People hating on this dude: worry about your own car. Chances are rocbola takes better care of his shit than you do.
Did this in my 01 tahoe. Omg !! 275k miles it ran good already just wanted to see what happened. Wow . The pedal is way more responsive engine is even quieter than it was before. Opened it up on the highway and it ran beautifully. It already ran beautifully but even better. I highly suggest this on all vehicles with mileage on it. My daughter's Camry we bought from original owner has 400,000 miles on it. We do seafoam in the gas once a month seafoam in the oil one week prior to oil change. The car is still silent you can't even hear it run. The engine is mechanically sound and the only thing we've had to do it in the nine years that she has owned it is brake pads and tires
Nice.
That’s a dam clean engine I’ve seen engine bays with less miles and they looked like they had 500000 miles on em that’s respect for your car bro
The haters are the ones throwing crap with a 600 dollar car payment trying to look good for everyone else. This guy takes care of is payed for car, then retires early cause he invested instead of showed out. RESPECT MY FRIEND MUCH RESPECT
If this were a Honda or Toyota everyone would be like "wow 300k miles thats impressive great cars" but when gm's prove themselves time and time again for being long lasting reliable little tanks everyone is like "what a crappy car" lol. Great video dude.
sam stone agreed, my parents own a 2006 Yukon XL with 180K miles on it and it still runs great, shifts great and has like little problems. The one that I can think of on the top of my head is one of the indoor car lights doesn’t work and that’s pretty much it.
Ya just like the Cavalier I had that the engine died at 85k. GM quality there....
@@thunderhead870 I actually just got rid of my 02 5 speed cavalier coupe with 278k on it and that was when I got back from driving it from Texas to Georgia and back. But mine was also well maintained. Treat your ride well and it will treat you the same
@@matthewhallman3453 some Cavaliers came with a 2.4l or quad 4. These are well known to be absolute garbage. The 2.2l was better
@@thunderhead870 yeah that's what me was too was 2.2l
Why does this video have so many dislikes? Haters gunna hate, I guess. I'm a fan of (2nd gen) Sx2 Saturns. Stupid reliable and are actually fun to drive. As for all of that smoke, awesome! Keep it running and alive! Great video
Gotta love saturns. No middle ground with them. They either die before 150k or they run forever. I have seen them hit 450k with "ok" maintenance.
Well done for all those miles on the clock! That’s called ‘getting your money’s’ worth’.
Nice vid. I've tried seafoam on all my cars. It seems to work very well and I've felt noticeable power differences after treatment. The only negative I've found is that you gotta keep an eye one your catalytic converter. 3 of the five vehicles I've treated had their cats core burned through not long after treatment. I heard noticeable rattles coming from them and when pulled I found the honeycomb cores were disintegrated in sections. Could have been the age of the cats, but 3 of 5 tells me it's might just be a seafoam side effect.
Why would it cause that?! 1st time I've heard about that being a risk
While y'all talking shit, I bet he has no car note.
It's a shame Saturn disappeared, such solid cars and well thought out (from my understanding).
I can't believe that you have 300,000 miles on a Saturn! That's a great run.
Sounds much better, seafoam cleans all the carbon out of the intake. Hope you get another 300,000 miles.
Straight outta CL son! 👍🏻
Man that car sounds strong especially with 300,000 miles! You have taken care of it. Well done
Sick man! those SL2s go forever!!! thanks for the vid! Also being a manual is a plus
love your car! To be honest its my favorite saturn, very good looking and reliable!
When you showed the engine bay, and I saw that red shield emblem, my eyes widened a bit, it's a Saturn! An SL2!
I miss my SL1, swear you could shoot it with a tank and it would still start up. If GM ever wants to make a car that you can rely on, they would bring back Saturn!
This one still runs, original engine, even today, 8 months after this video was shot. I think that's why GM got rid of the S-series was because it didn't break enough for the dealerships to make as much money in service as they would have liked.
Saturn is a huge reason GM ended up in the mess it did.
My girlfriend had one. She got the oil changed and they forgot to put the oil in... she was driving around with no oil for a few days! Ran Fine! 🤣🤣
The car is clean for 300k miles. The engine bay is super clean. Kudos. And thanks for the demonstration.
This is what a properly cared for vehicle looks like! Being in the automotive industry my whole life taught me that when buying a used car, its the owner that determines reliability! NOT what is said in internet reviews!
for 300k that things runs awesome!
Don't mind these shit talkers... fuckers probably don't even have *a* car. I've had over 30 cars and they've all been beaters. Everything from Civics and Neons to Mustangs and Cameros. I've had fun driving all of them, fixing them, and even blowing them up.
The Real Elvis when cars cost as much as a house, I will pay cash for a used one and not have a payment. Damn a truck that can cost more than 60 grand. 300 k and still running good and that's all that counts.
My first car was a 1959 Rambler with a flat head six engine. I paid $150.00 for the car. I had to go outside the car and pull on the valve that operated the wipers when it rained. I patched at least a dozen holes in the radiator with furnace cement. I spray painted the car with about 20 cans of 50cent a can paint. I loved that car. It got us around and that's all we cared.
Arthur Smith my first ride was a 64 rambler american 2 dr hardtop i was 16 in 93 and that car was the shit. It was SEAFOAM green inside and out straight 6 till i swapped the running gear with a wrecked 5 litre mustang ultimate sleeper
Hey dude, nice video, very informative, very thorough, and I hope that this same product can be used in my 92 jeep.
that engine bay is clean...
a car is a car a true man said once........
Holy shit. I've never seen a Saturn last so many miles. Props to you.
Sweet ride! Sounds awesome and looks fast
Forget the Local auto parts store. Walmart has it everyday for around $6.87 or so a can. How much was it at the local auto parts store? O'Reilly's occasionally has it on sale for around $7.99 a can lol. Put it up on their billboard sign like that is a great price.
It's not all about the price. Wal-mart is able to sell their products so cheap because of a variety of immoral and unethical business practices. I'd rather buy it from Advance Auto because they pay a living wage, rather than teaching their employees how to sponge off the taxpayers.
"I pity the man who wants a coat so cheap that the man or woman who produces the cloth will starve in the process." - Benjamin Harrison
It’s great that you kept the care for 300k miles. Those were good cars and unique. As a former GM tech I have friends that worked on them.
I love those cars, My mother actually had one when I was younger. Had 400.000 on it before it was wrote off, Still ran strong too!
im really embarassed to do that in public places such as parking lot, because people would think that my car is on fire ahahahaha
Dio Anindra lol same here. Imma have to take a ride down the River Road somewhere.👍
what do you not have homes?
those were great cars
matt parker ya were
MajorBigBudz That's what I said about your sister
Ive got a gmc truck w 342k on it......and thats sayin something for a guy w a truck in the rust belt....purrs like a kitten still but the body and frame are failing me.....best fuqn truck ive ever owned.....gets sea foam in gas tank pretty regularly and have used lucas oil stabilizer since about 200k....so kudos to this dude for his daily driver and maintenance skills.
300,000 miles and the engine bay just left the show room
Pardon my lack of current car knowledge, but what is the make and model of your car? 300k miles is very good.
Never mind! Should have waited for the credits to toll. Thanks for the video.
Jeffry Blackmon these are stupid reliable, my grandpa has 450k on his
The type of Dude to put a yellow top optima battery in a Saturn... hype beast
Josh Gotter he needs the power for the sound system I'm guessing
He'll drive it till the wheels fall off, then transfer the battery to his next daily driver.
The type of cat who’s too concerned about everyone else... super cool dude
A Saturn With 300,000+ miles BRAVO THATS TOYOTA TERRITORY 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Your car is nice as hell. Engine is clean and it sounds nice.
Wiggle the stick more!
older cars are better, you dont need to care about them as much, even though you can get attached to them.
So true.
Well, they weren’t as safe as cars are today. And the gas mileage can be horrible as well depending on how old you go. The best current reliable car you can own is a 1997 Nissan Maxima SE fast, and they can do over 500k miles. Check it out. You’ll find it’s true.
True, so true, but cars these days... one electrical problem, and it's to the junkyard.
what exaust do you have on that I love that sound and iv been using seafoam for years and I swear by it
Watching this made me nostalgic for my 1993 SL2...Blue-Black with 5 speed, teardrop wheels and fog lamps, but with the blue interior. I sold it to a friend when it had about 220K on it.
Is that crystal lake, Illinois? Lol my hometown
INSANERHINO98 Indeed it is.
rocbola That's so crazy I knew it!! Don't know how I keep randomly stumbling upon TH-camrs in areas nearby lol
INSANERHINO98 LOL same
Holy shit I'm from Joliet
I just shipped a 2 track cantilever to Joilet from Canada for a railway.
If one of those amps blow, is the car legally totaled?
This is why I love manuals, very durable! Good stuff
I just did this to my 50cc dirt bike and I just passed a P100d Tesla on the Autobahn. Thanks!!
Love your Saturn. I have the 2001 Saturn sc1 5 speed. Mine has almost 300000 on it. And by the way you shit talkers. Who was the first car company to make a car with suicide doors? Ding ding that's right Saturn. Don't be hating on this dude's car when it looks better than your girlfriend. And props to you bud. You have a nice Saturn. Love how clean and your upkeep is.
Sean Stayte ding ding suicide doors were made in some cars in the early 1940s or so. Get smart
suicide doors goes waaaayyyyyback. just sayin'
I'm guna post a vid of my 05 Lincoln town car with 640PlusK miles nod sea foam it just for y'all haters out there. Keep em runner smooth bruh
Orig. engine too. Tranny committed suicide around 320k nod fuel pump not long after but all Any car req. to achieve high mileage is above average tune up and servicing.
Aww man, I checked to see if you did.
That is a beautiful SL2 oh man.... You don't see many who actually take care of these gems.
Considering the amount of miles, that is one clean engine bay. Cheers
clean engine for 300k
