Seafoam

FINALLY someone made a legit video that proves without a shadow of a doubt that Seafoam works.

Enjoy:

Sorry Andrew, but I don't drive a civic.

I use it in my atv's, snowmobiles, dirtbike, streetbikes, my cars and truck. I love Seafoam!

I love it too, I have gotten dead motorcycles running and I have seen first hand oil and gunk get cleaned up. Just happy someone finally did more scientific testing than me just saying "it works"

While the Seafoam procedure shown in the video may be great for engines in distress, I don't think it's necessary for routine maintenance. That little bit of carbon that was removed in the video isn't going to make that much difference. Most of the good probably comes from cleaning the TB. Might be helpful for manifold/valve deposits in direct injection engines. YMMV

Isn't it just lot of ethanol. I have used it and it seems to make the car run smoother in a Toyota with 185k miles but look out rubber

I'm just glad to see this guy is doing something. Most mfg'ers claims (not just automotive " are misleading at best.

I doubt it. And I don't use it in the oil, so no worries there

Very true, but at least it shows that the product DOES work, and within 5 minutes

According to their web site, there is <25% isopropanol (rubbing alcohol) in Seafoam Spray. The main ingredient (<95%) is "hydrocarbon blend" (proprietary formula). The rest is 3-5% carbon dioxide (propellant).

have you watched the fuel additive video on their channel too? surprised me

No, I usually run a half a can through the intake on my other cars. I haven't used any on my Z yet but I'm guessing 1/4 to 1/2 can per side should be plenty.

Agree. Used this on a high mileage Honda with occasional knocking due to carbon buildup, but prefer to just use Lucas oil treatment every few thousand miles instead.

It creates lot of smoke, but mostly from burning the seafoam. One way is to suck it in via the vacuum hose, but be careful only with very small amount at a time. you might also get warning light due to mis-firing and knocking during the process.

I used it on my 01' Altima with 190k on it and it ran much smoother. I had a lot of knocking and that went away for a few months but now its back. I dumped a bunch in the intake manifold. and the rest in the tank and it smoked like a sonuvabitch.
