Another Seafoam Question

[MyCord]

I'm about to do an oil change and I don't have the time right now to go to a parking lot and put the foam through my brake booster, and I don't have a full tank of gas to put it in there either. Is it fine to do the three stages at different times? What I'm asking is, is it okay to just put 1/3 seafoam in my crankase for a few minutes then change the oil and skip the other steps for another day? Will my car smoke at all from the foam in the crankcase? Thanks!

I just put mine into the vacuum hose wit a funnel. but no it shouldnt matter, either way your puttin the shit it, why you going to a parking lot to do it?

id reccomend doin the crank case and vaccum line at the same time, casue the foam break off the deposits and it get dumped to the oil......so, u shpuld do at least those 2, then the oil change..

you know what I wouldnt even bother I seafomed my car like 4 times and it never did anything

It doesn't matter when. I never done it un a full tank and I always dumped the whole can in it. Don't beleive everything you read on forums. Try it yourself, you may learn something.

If you don't believe that Seafoam works....hopefully you have a garage (white door preferably), and if not...find someone closeby. Seafoam it (1/2 can in the brak booster), then drive for about 10-15 minutes. Then, park the car in the garage. Next morning, leave the door shut, and start your car up. Make sure you clean the door off before the person that let you borrow the garage, or your parents find out there's black gunk all over their door. That black gunk, would be carbon. But you gotta think, that shit was in your engine. Seafoam. <3

same here dude...after 2 cans of sea foam i finally figured out that i just needed valve seals

Seafoam is shit... not the shit, its pure shit. Its ok to use in the crankcase, but Via fuel tank, or booster line, i highly recommend you dont use it. From personal experience only however. I fouled my plugs, i had to get new plugs, a new VC gasket, and now, i need about 4 more other seals. Since i started using Seafoam, its givin me nothing but problems. after i stoped using it, everything seems to be running fine again.

This is good information. A balanced debate where I can draw conclusions. Good posts!

Check if your plugs have a purple tint... If they do, thats from seafoam.

All due respect... Wow WTH are you guys doing that stuff is not hard to use, and i think it works frickin wonders. granted i would NEVER put it in me oil but thats just me! i used it in both of my cars it blu all kinds of shit out of the H duce and i felt the difference after. used in my civic it must have been clean inside cause i only got a lil smoke out of it.

It may clean out some of the carbon, but it its a really harsh additive. Dont quote me on this, but when my buddy had it in his Denali Tahoe, he put in a full tank, and 1 can of it, he burned it to the bottom of the tank, by that time, he had to replace his injectors, and O rings, and the intake manifold gasket. That stuff is really harsh. I'll never use it again.
