- Brian shows you how he uses Sea Foam High Mileage in the oil crankcase and gas tank of his truck. Works great in cars too! Sea Foam High Mileage is specially formulated for vehicles over 75,000 miles. Just pour it in - easy! #SeaFoamWorks
Years ago a representative from Seafoam came by my shop. I had a 87 Jeep Cherokee with over 200,000 miles on it. At idle, the 4.0L had 17" of manifold vacuum. Using my Jeep, he did a treatment and when we rechecked the vacuum, it had risen to over 18". I've been using Seafoam ever since except now I use the High Mileage.
-- Well, if the 1911 is the Lord's caliber, then the I-6 is the Lord's engine. 98, 92, 71 Jeeps here, and I'm building a 41 Willys, not that it counts for this.
You use it on every time you fill your gas tank
For some weird reason, I trust this guy.
because he is presenting facts in a pleasant manner.

My Jeep Wrangler '04 was pausing after I hit the pedal from every stop, progressively got worse. Used two cans of Seafoam in the tank and haven't had a problem since. Will continue to use.
My '00 Jeep Grand Cheroke does the same thing. My brother told me to use Seafoam and now I am on this video. LOL
Wish me luck
I always use it in my old Silverado 5.3 AFM 150 miles before oil change, it made my pick up run quiet and cleaner. This is a must have for these 5.3 AFM engines as they are well known to build up carb in the manifold area
да ну, гонишь!
So since our trucks hold 6 quarts of oil, pour 6 ounces of high mileage sea foam where I usually pour the oil?
Does the engine have to be hot ?
Does not.@@zae3883

-- Helpful and reassuring. Bought a 2004 Tahoe Z71 with 177k miles on it. Clean frame, everything works. No damage. 5.3l is smooth. Just need it to last a few winters. Seafoam has always been my go to.
You use it ever fill up
@@petermuniz9296 -- Just about. However, only a third of the recommended per gallon. There's a big debate out there on the TH-cams that Seafoam isn't the best for more modern engines. Won't hurt anything, but the debate is that it's useless.
But I've seen it make a difference in a lot of newer vehicles. Better fuel economy, less smoke in just about all. However, when you connect a scan tool and look at the before and after treatment numbers, that's where I've always seen marked improvements. O2 sensors last longer, Cats last longer. Overall numbers on the scanner are better.
@@MarkJacksonGaming This stuff makes my gas mileage look like night and day in my 2004 Ford Expedition… after 4 full ups using Sea Foam, I’m getting 18.1 mpg average and without it, I was getting 15.6 mpg
@@GameTesterDev how often do you use seafoam?
@@jt5183 Every 1500 miles, I'll put a bottle in the gas and every 4000 miles I'll put a bottle in the oil.
My 08 Silverado has 283,000 miles. Sea Foam has been a big and noticeable help.
I just used MY VERY FIRST SEAFOAM HIGH MILEAGE MOTOR TREATMENT in my gas tank! Waiting for it to work
high mileage ? the original version worked well why change it now ?
The original has not changed. Both work great!@@bigglefty75
@@SeaFoamOfficial i have always used the original Sea foam its been good stuff.. my Pops has always had Marvel Mystery in the garage and now so do i - thx
I used seafoam in a 1973 Ford 302 that was using oil and smoking quite a bit within 10 minutes of putting seafoam in the oil and the gas it quit smoking not that it fixed the motor completely but it helped it greatly
Just got me my VERY FIRST CAN OF SEAFOAM HIGH MILEAGE MOTOR TREATMENT...at Wally world!!! Cannot wait to use this BEAST
i dont know why but that comment actually made me LOL
I used it before and it cleaned my cat code on Nissan. Love this product 😅
I used the regular sea foam last week it got rid of my check engine light. I’ll have to look up the difference to see what makes this better?
Nice!
USE THE NEW SEA FOAM TUNE UP CAN, EVEN BETTER!!! 👍

@@SeaFoamOfficial how do I use the phone just bought some close to empty then put it in and fill it up or close to empty put it in and ride it some like that
I just added this to my 2009 JK Wrangler I put in Pennzoil Platinum ultra high mileage oil with a Napa Platinum oil filter. I put a can of this in when I was on low and just went on 95 South I went 15 miles at 55 miles an hour and I have a picture of me getting 29.2 mpg when I'm supposed to get 19 hwy mpg
Ben. That's the air plenum not the intake. I did the injectors 4 years ago. Never do it the wy they tell you! That plenum will cone out the rear if you remove the dist . cap and lift the A C lines . did the whole thing in 4 hours!
So do i disconnect the tube from my intake manifold and spray it just before the “plenum” still?
Buddy of mine said to run some thru my gas tank and then drive the hell out of it I've never used this before and would like to know why I would need to drive the hell out of my truck after putting this in my gas tank?
Hi Alex: The "drive the X out of it" idea has to do with intake cleanings with Sea Foam Spray, not adding to fuel. The Sea Foam Spray can instructs "Apply spirited acceleration..." after the hot soak step. Hope this helps!
I have an 05 Corolla,252k. Never done a fuel system cleaner other than a few chevron fuel system cleaners awhile back. City mileage is down a bit and power is down too. Good idea to do this treatment or is it risky? I worry about injectors going out after something like this. Great video!
Extremely helpful; thank you !!!
I'm no mechanic. so are you pouring the Sea Foam in the same spot where you pour oil? I have a 2003 Ford F150 5.4 w/ 360k miles
Yes, right into the oil crankcase. Sea Foam can be used in fuel to clean injectors and upper engine areas, use in oil to clean heavy residues from the crankcase. Hope this helps!
Sea Foam Official how often I use it?
WORKS GREAT,, 2004 GMC,, 2001 DODGE,, 160000 DODGE
200000 GMC
BOTH 4X4
KEEP IT RUNNING
GREAT!!!! SEA FOAM!!!
Minnesota trust him
Was just about to grab 2 cans of regular today but now I'll be getting the high mileage. 203k on my 01 monte 👍🏻
How often would you put Seafoam high mileage into the gas tank?
I put it in the gas tank after every oil change and then go to the gas station and make sure the tank is filled
Well 300,000 mile from a chevy just sounds par for the course so did seafoam do anything who knows probably not bad but just keeping good oil in it makes the biggest difference
YEAH OIL CHANGES ARE IMPORTANT 4 SURE,,, BUT I KNOW SEA FOAM WILL MAKE ANY MOTOR LAST AND RUN BETTER, HAVE USED IT FOR YEARS, NOW I LIKE THE NEW TUNE UP CAN. DON'T KNOW YET IF THE NEW STUFF IS BETTER, BUT I LIKE THE CONCEPT OF TUNE UP IF IT DOES.
MY 2001 4X4, 160,000 DODGE STARTED RUNNING ROUGH AFTER I STOPPED USING LAST YEAR,, IT HAD BEEN SITTING FOR A LONG TIME,, SO I WENT BACK TO OLD RELIABLE SEA FOAM,, POURED CAN IN FULL TANK AND BEFORE I GOT HOME SHE STARTED RUNNING GREAT AGAIN, ABOUT 5 MILES. I'M SOLD ON IT. NO TROUBLES WITH MY TRACTOR I BOUGHT AT AUCTION, AND IT RAN LIKE CRAP, NOBODY WANTED IT,, NOW PEOPLE CAN'T BELIEVE I BOUGHT IT FOR SUCH A GIVE AWAY PRICE.
DOESN'T MATTER WHAT WE DRIVE IT WORKS FOR US IN AZ. SO I USE IN EVERY OTHER GAS FILL UP.
CAN'T WAIT TO BUY MY NEXT AUCTION VEHICLE FOR A SONG AND A DANCE RUNNING BAD, THEN SELLING FOR HARD COLD CASH.
BETTER THAN A SECOND JOB,, IN A CAN OF SEA FOAM. 👍🇺🇲🇺🇲👍

Fantastic video! Thank you
I have a Silverado with over 2 hundred thousand miles. 4.3 great engine.
Never have it but I will now 👍👍
Thank you I'm going to use it
Can you just pour it in the fuel tank?
I purchased this yesterday after hearing about Sea foam...
I have a 98 camry LE with 240,000 miles on it. of course got the high mileage one. I put about 1/3 of this in my oil and will be changing it in about 100 miles. Right now my fuel is over half full so I'm taking the instruction and will wait until my fuel is lower.
But when should i put it? when i have about how many miles left? 100? 200?
Also, is it more effective if you do this in your oil and fuel together? or doing it separately doesn't make a difference?
Lastly, how much should i put in the fuel tank? is about 10 once enough? or should i get another bottle?
I have never done this before for my car.
Great questions! 1) Can do separate. 2) Use half a can in Camry oil. 3) Half a can in fuel isn't much.1 or 2 cans when you have 50 miles to go is a good rule., then drive 20 miles before adding more tank fuel. Hope this helps!
This guy should win an oscar
Will this also clean my upper intake system by just adding to my fuel? If no, can I spray it directly into my throttle body?
I don't have any oil leaks, so I'm hesitant to add this to my engine oil. What's your advice?
Thanks!
Hi Matt: You'd need Sea Foam Spray to apply through a throttle body. Sea Foam or High Mileage in oil have nothing to do with leaks. Add it to oil to liquefy heavier residues. Hope this helps!
@@SeaFoamOfficial I just got an oil change and filled up my tank. Can I still put some into my fuel tank?
@@DunnDealOutdoors Great question! I like to add when the tank is low to increase the cleaning concentration. Up to you.
Great video.man.!!! Thank You.!!!
Can I add a full bottle if I’m at quarter of a tank? Or should I wait till it gets a little lower 🤔
Make the most of the cleaning concentration if you can. 1/8 is better than 1/4...
Am going to try this
Can I use this on every fill up
Did not know this product even existed !! I will have to get some and use it. I have a Ram truck with a 5.7 Hemi and MDS. I understand that the MDS system is oil viscosity sensitive, will I have any issues adding the Seafoam to the oil ?
No issues with viscosity - good to go!
Seafoam has been around for DECADES.
And decades ago, it was useful.
Now its absolutely unnecessary
"looks like an ad"
.........but it is! 😁
Jokes aside, i like the product.
good stuff buddy.. hey this guy has some Adam Levine going. lol....cheers
ALSO USE IN MY TRACTOR, 👍
I have 125,000 miles on my 96 chevy camaro. I used the regular sea foam in my crank case, Fuel tank, and throttle body intake. Is that ok? Or should i redo ? Didnt know there was a high miledge sea foam.
Can use it next time.
I have a 95 with 127,000 I'm thinking about doing the same, did u notice a big difference afterwards
@@DavidGonzalez-mj2iq yes I did the car run smoother .No more knocking noise coming from the engine and better throttle response. Hope this helps.
So I’m burning oil and my head gasket and valve cover gaskets are intact, I have a 1994 Honda Civic lx and have to add about a quart of oil every 1-2 weeks, would this stuff help with that?
if i were you id run liqui molys molygen oil on your next change, it glows under a blacklight so you can see where oil is coming from, seafoam might help but it will only be a bandaid solution, it never hurts to run this stuff through your car though
Start adding it every interval. It's going to help no matter what. Could have piston ring restrictions or worn rings. Have your cylinder compressions checked.
I used this in the crankcase of my 4.0 and it sputtered for about half a mile after i used it. is that normal? maybe the oil pump didn't like how thin it was? Also, i used this about 3000 miles ago, and forgot to change my oil.... seems to run fine, but i am going to go get a change tomorrow..... did this stuff continue to clean the entire 3000 miles, or should i add a little more and run it a little first
I believe you - that you experienced a sputtering of sorts...But adding to oil would not cause the oil pump to react differently. Anyway, I don' have an answer for what caused the sputter.
It's OK to run in the oil for the full duration of the interval, so no worries. Just add half a can to your 4.0 every interval and it will continue to clean your oil crankcase.
Brian what is the difference between this an regular Seafoan? Does it contain stronger cleaning agents to get rid of stubborn build up?
Tougher on heavier residues. Hope this helps!
Appreciate!
So I just changed my oil in my 97 gmc will it be ok to add this to my oil until next oil change or do I need to changed oil sooner? My truck also has 228k miles.
Yes, add one time per oil interval. Always leave in the oil until ready to change oil. No need to change earlier than normal!
Do you crank your truck up right after
I was unaware that you can add some to the actually oil. Then the tank. So i should take my can back i got regular seafom for trucks and suv. But i do have higher mileage.
Is it safe to use on a 2016 Chevy Tahoe with 175k miles?
always
Can you do this same process on a high mileage old 7.3L or 6.oL Powerstroke?
Can run it in your diesel oil. Just note that we don't promote as a diesel fuel product.
OIL CHANGE IN A DEISEL IS EXPENSIVE, I'D USE IT MYSELF,, BUT I PREFER GAS ENGINE, I DON'T THINK EXPENSES MAKE UP FOR BETTER MILEAGE. THAT'S JUST ME. 👍
@@crazyhorseranchaz except where I tow you would be doing 5 MPH up the Ike Gauntlet in a gas engine. 12k feet and steep as hell. I regularly tow over 20k pounds.
Yes but don't use the high mileage one in a diesel, use regular seafoam
When is the best time to put seafoam in the crank case? Can I put it even though it's not due to change oil? Or it's better to wait til it's almost time to change my engine oil?
Can add any time as long as your drive at least 100 miles. We recommend 100 to 300 miles prior to the oil change.
So umm… anytime I try to pour stuff like that into my 2017 chevy silverado without a long neck funnel, it would just spill out onto the ground.
I’m getting an oil change today can I add some of this to my oil after the oil change? I already added a can to my gas tank & my car is running so much better already! Now I want to add some to my oil but I’m not sure if I can add it right after I get my oil change
Yes, can add to fresh oil.
Just used it in my 2.0Eco-boost had 130 on it randomly stalls every once in a while.
Are you showing any misfire codes? You might have a fouled plug issue.
@@SeaFoamOfficial I am not having any codes at all. Seems to be working better after using sea foam.
So my tank is full and I just got an oil change. I get the impression that I should wait until my tank is low, add at least one bottle, drive for a while and then add gas, correct? Should I wait until I'm close to needing another oil change before adding 1/2 of a bottle to the oil tank? Thanks!
Great questions - yes for both.
If just using in Fuel should it still be done within a couple hundred miles before oil change ?
You can add to fuel any time. Best to add when tank is low to increase cleaning concentration.
Can i put this on my engine during new oil change? Like it will run for the whole 5000km oil change interval cycle
Yes, can add when the oil is new.
Should I add it to my oil before every oil change? How soon before an oil change should I add it. About 300 miles before?
Yes, your idea to add 300 miles before every oil change is ideal!
What is the difference with regular and high mileage?
High Mileage is a little tougher on stubborn residues and deposits.
When putting in gas tank you said drive 20 miles then add more fuel? Can I add on a full tank of gas? Or should it be at a certain level?
Can add to a full tank. Just note that adding to less gas creates a greater cleaning concentration.
Can you put the seafoam into the gas tank if you just got an oil change or should you wait?
Um definitely wait
You can add to the gas tank anytime. Don’t put it in the engine oil until you’re almost at your oil change interval.
WHY WAIT, TANK IS GREAT, DOES MORE THAN A HALF CAN IN OIL.
Whats the difference between the High Mileage and The standard Seafoam? Would it be a good idea to use this product with a vehicle that has 265,000 miles that's never had a Seafoam treatment before?
Always helps to use it. HM is tougher on stubborn residues/buildup.
@@SeaFoamOfficial Ok, the only thing that concerns me is that I have significant buildup and big deposits will break off and clogged up passage ways. Is that something I have to worry about?
@@saulgoodman9193 Oil deposits are oil residues that are no longer fluid. Sea Foam liquefies the deposits back into fluid.
@@SeaFoamOfficial Copy that, thanks dawg!
My 2004 chevrolet cavalier has 180,892 miles on it and the check engine light came on saying misfire with a fuel injector. The autozone guy recommend this stuff. My car is throttling. I wonder how long it'll take to help. I have no way of knowing how much gas I have in the tank because the cluster doesn't work. I'm assuming I have half a tank based off memory of last fill, so I put one whole can in and am saving the second can for later.🤞
Hi Nicole. I think the AZ guy was right to recommend as a "last chance" before having the code evaluated by a mechanic. Hope it works out for you!
Is it ok to add to your crankcase if your oil level is currently showing as full? Don't want to overfill if it will be a problem. Thanks
Yes, plenty of room.
Is the amount supposed to be per gallon capacity of the vehicle? It seems like you just added over 20 ounces to a few gallons fuel. The can says 1 to 2 ounces per gallon.
Great question! For cleaning, can shows "use 2 or more ounces per gallon", so you can could go with 50 ounce per gallon if you wanted. I like to add a can or two when the tank is low, drive at least 20 miles before adding fuel.
Caused cylinder one & four misfire after using, should I be concerned?
You added it to gasoline and it caused a misfire?
I feel that his voice, given his size, should be between a quarter octave to half an octave lower. Other than that great vid.
Great point!
So put some sea foam down into the oil and dump a bunch into the gas tank. I’ll try it in my 06 dodge Dakota with 240000 miles on it. It’s burning oil right now.
Hi Corey: Yes, you got it + keep adding half a can to oil each interval.
Sounds good. I’ll try anything to keep the truck running good. It still has to make it through hunting season
@@coreystoner4129 It will help! Happy hunting Corey!

LOVE DODGE, BUT NOT DAKOTA!! USE SEA FOAM TO GET IT BETTER THAN TRADE IT OFF FOR A REAL TRUCK LIKE DODGE 5.9 4X4 OR GMC 8.1 496, SO YOU PAY A LITTLE MORE IN GAS MILEAGE, BUT OH WHAT A DIFFERENCE TO BE PROUD OF. 👍🇺🇲⛽💯❤️
what kind of effects good and hopefully none bad will i see if i started using this is my 2009 5.3 silverado w 150k miles on it?
Cleaning fuel and oil systems is never a bad thing!
Does the engine have to e hot? Do I pour the sea foam high mileage where i pour the oil ?
No, does not need to be hot. Instructions on can suggest adding 100 to 300 miles before each oil change.
Does this work on a civic with 200k+ miles on it?
Yes it will.
Are you supposed to leave the car on when adding it to the gas tank?
There is no reason to have the car running when adding to fuel, though it will do its work through the fuel system and upper engine while driving. Hope this helps!
So for the fuel I just add when my tank is empty and then fill it up and just drive it or what’s the proper way ?
Add when low, drive about 20 miles, then add fuel.
@@SeaFoamOfficial do you add the whole can and does the truck have to be on or off
@@santinn7004 Whole can and does not matter if the vehicle is running.
@@SeaFoamOfficial I have a 91 Cadillac Fleetwood brougham with 78,800 MI is it safe to use high mileage seafoam in it and how often should I use seafoam
@@r-luvbham6608Yes, always safe for any engine! Watch the video - add half a can to the oil every interval, add a whole can to the tank every couple months. Best to add to fuel when tank is low to create a higher cleaning concentration. Hope this helps!
I just changed my oil. Any knows if I can still use it on fresh oil? I have a bmw 328i
Yes, can add anytime during the oil interval.
I did. 1 oz per quart
@@SeaFoamOfficial what are the repurcussions? do i change it earlier or?
@@amc7615 Just leave it in just like any oil change interval. No repercussions.
What's the difference between regular Seafoam and high mileage one? Will regular seafoam cause any issues to an old car with over 400.000km on it?
Both are similar but High Mileage does a bit better with stubborn engine and oil deposits. Both are made form 100% petroleum cleaning and lubricating oils and ALWAYS safe to use.
How fast should I change my oil after I use the sea foam?
Go as you would a typical oil change interval/whenever ready to change oil.
Can I use seafoam after filling up tank, and in oil after oil change (oil around 3,000 miles before 7,500 miles oil change)?
Yes, but better to add when tank is low to max the higher cleaning concentration. Yes, adding half way through the oil interval works great!
What is the difference between high mileage and the regular one though?
Similar, but HM is tougher on stubborn residues and deposits.
Can i just add one full can to the gas tank? 2006 Dodge Magnum with 228,000 miles
yes, can do.
Hello good folks at sea foam, unfortunately I found myself behind the wheel of a 5.3 chevy with AFM that has the notorious oil consumption issue, when added to the crankcase will your product help with that?
Add half a can each interval and see what happens.
What's the difference between the high mileage blend and the regular one?
HM is tougher on stubborn residues. You will like it!
Why do people say to spray it in the intake?
Sea Foam Spray (a different product) is applied into the air intake.
Can I add it after a oil change ?
Yes, can add any time.
Can it be pour just into the gas tank?
Yes, can do!
I have a 1964 FIAT 1100 station wagon with low mileage but with original parts, ok to use?
Yes, for sure!
Hi. Could i only add it in my oil and fuel cap only without the trottle?
Pls rephrase your question.
@@SeaFoamOfficial I see you added the seaform in 3 areas. If i only added it in where i put gas in and the where the oil change go only will that be good to do? I'm sorry not great at cars
Yes, that works. Thanks for the new question!
Hi! After I put this in my oil tank can I add regular oil? And if so, how soon after? Thank you!
Could this cause a leak if my valve cover gaskets are old ?
Yes, if the gaskets are sealed by old varnish buildup.
Hey 👋..why are u using a can and a half for your fuel tank?
Only because I started with 2 cans and half a can went into the oil crankcase.
Buy SeaFoam at Walmart 4 or more dollars cheaper than at auto parts store, Also 16 oz cans instead of 12 oz.
So this will definitely work on my 2011 Chevy Impala, with 119+ miles ?
Yes, it will help clean any gas fuel or oil system. Let us know if you're experiencing a specific problem or just looking to keep things in order.
My Hyundai only has 289,000 miles on it, does it qualify as high milage yet!
You're on your way!
hi how much should i pour into a vr6 2.8 AAA motor also i have a 55 litre gas tank
Add a whole bottle to a low tank of fuel.
You're an awesome guy you got a Chevrolet your Chevy man
He really does not need to use Seafoam on a Chevy. Those things run forever.
man said 88k is a lot of miles
Will this help with a slight shakey idle
Try it! It's a low-cost way to diagnose an issue.
Since my truck have the engine light on and burning oil and I just got an oil change can I start out putting in 1/2 can of Seafoam high mileage motor treatment to get it started?Than after that I can start adding 1/2 can of Seafoam high mileage 500 miles and do my next oil change?
yes
Sea Foam Official what is BEST wait to 300 or 100 miles than pour in 1/2 can of Seafoam high mileage motor treatment to 6 quarts of motor oil than do an oil change?
@@coolwater411 100 to 300 miles BEFORE you change the oil, so toward the end of the interval.
Sea Foam Official...I’m hoping(🙏🏻) that using Seafoam high mileage motor treatment I will get as much mileage as possible out of my 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche 5.3 liters V8 engine!
Is high mileage better then the original sea foam? Any test result?
Great question! Most things need something different as they get older. Sea Foam and High Mileage are very similar, but High Mileage is blended to do more for an engine as it becomes more vulnerable to deposit buildup and heavier oil residues.
I used for the 1st time seafoam high mile can and my engine light is now off but my diagnostics said it Wes my air injection system does seafoam help with that? Next question I put seafoam reg in my crank case before a oil change and they said I had 2 quarts over which I don't understand does the seafoam break down sludge and add to what's in the engine ? Thanks
Thanks for the question. 1) No, there is no relationship to air injection, which occurs on the exhaust at start up. 2) Two quarts of oil is a lot! You'd have to start with a ton of sludge for that to happen. Seems you were just over-filled. Hope this helps!
@@SeaFoamOfficial Thank you
I hope my engine light goes off when I sue it for the first time🙏🏻
Is your engine light still off...Kenyatta Dod?
@@coolwater411 Let us know how it goes.
How often do you put it in gas tank
Every couple months to a low tank works great!
