Seafoam

[redneckabbott]

I'm changing my oil tomorrow and plan on running seafoam before I do. I'm already using it in my fuel but wondering how the best way to do this will be.

Ok right after I posted I decided to search and found where ppl are saying NOT to add to oil......anyone have experience? If I shouldn't then I'd better get up early and change it before I go anywhere because I decided to go ahead and add some before I forgot but it hasn't been ran with it.

DO NOT RUN IT IN YOUR OIL. Well unless you want to replace your injectors shortly after

Would be a good excuse to upgrade lol but seriously I'm BROKE and could hardly afford the oil as it is!

Drain your fuel filter bowl and put it in there

Yea I reckon I'll change my oil 1st thing before I run the seafoam and tear something up and I'll add to my fuel bowl. I ran it through my moms s10 blazer with 230,000 and it seemed to help alot and I also added some to our ford compact tractor.

DO NOT ADD IT TO YOUR OIL!!! our injectors use oil pressurized at a few thousand psi to fire them, even using a slightly diffrent oil viscosity could be catastrophic

I ran it in my truck without problems at all. Ran it for about a thousand miles or so. We have 15 some odd quarts of oil a little additive wont kill your motor/injectors. I used it because the truck sat for a few years before I picked it up and It ran fine with the seafoam. I wanted to get rid of any deposits and sludge. Now I run purple and its running like a champ. Plus the chemicals in seafoam dissapate over use and breakdown.
I wouldnt run it every fill-up or change but it was a one time thing.
