it cleans out all the carbon and junk in your engine. I did it to my F22 at 160K miles and it improved mileage on the hwy a bit, like 2-3 mpg. A LOT of white smoke came out.

Do it. It's worth it. I did it on my Integra awhile ago. It shot out a lot of smoke. Just make sure you follow instructions from experienced people carefully, otherwise you could flood your motor.

Have somebody rev it up a little to like 2-3k rpms. And slowly suck in some seafoam from a vacuum hose. Don't drown the hose in the stuff, just put the hose near the seafoam and it will suck it in. I poured the seafoam out into a small bowl to make it easier and just refilled the bowl every little bit. EDIT- Oh, it's normal for the motor to down-rev when it sucks the stuff in, that's why you want to rev it up a little.

You take off a vacuum hose and use the hose to suck in the Seafoam. You also put a little bit in your gas tank to clean your fuel system and a little in your crankcase. When I used Seafoam, I took a empty 20 ounce soda bottle and put some Seafoam in that. Then I took a funnel and connected a vacuum hose to the bottom, poked a hole in the 20 ounce bottle with the Seafoam in it and placed that inside the funnel so the Seafoam dripped out one drop at a time. It worked pretty good but you don't have to do it like that. Just use the vacuum line to suck up the liquid.

i like it

so i finally get my car started after a 3 day ordeal, and i decided to seafoam the shit. initially the car sat all winter and the oil turned to sludge and the car wouldnt crank from lack of oil pressure. so i drain all the oil out and it was like molasses. then dumped in motor flush break up the sludge and it all finally all drained out after sitting overnight. the i put in fresh mobil one oil and fresh oil filter. it still wouldnt crank so i decided to burp it by unscrewing the oil filter and cranking the motor. the oil started coming out and then i retighened it. then after i figuered i crossed the ignition wires it started. i was like that you god! i let it run for fifteen minutes and then went to the store and put in seafoam in the oil, gas, and intake. it smoked like a bitch. it looked like i had a smoke machine in my trunk. it ran much smoother after the smoke stopped.

overall i must say im impressed.

goodluck xfactor
