just seafoamed mine today

 

I just got done doing mine for the first time today too. 67000 miles and man did she smoke like hell. Haha

 

may have ot do this when my oil change comes around.

 

Super grateful for this video, thanks a bunch

 

Yeah I'm gonna seafoam my car every other oil change, or at least try to. At the very least once a season.

 

Great vid man. Hopefully there wont be too many more threads on how this is done LOL

Yeah, the valves on these DI motors get super nasty and gunky. I dont replace my plugs, what I do at every other oil change to keep things clean is take out the plugs and replace them with old ones just for the seafoam part. That way I dont foul up my good plugs and have to replace them every time. Then I change my oil and put the good plugs back in.

Again, nice how-to

 

New spark plugs every oil change, seems like too much to me.

 

I'm glad this is helping everyone. I set out to make the video as clear as possible so anyone could follow along. It's a pretty simple process and what I think gets peoplke choked up the most is they become impatient with letting the motor suck in the seafoam slowly.

Just change your oil and you'll be good to go.






What cubaniche does is exactly what I do. That way you can run your good plugs for the full amount of time recommended without possibly fouling them out by seafoam. Put in old crappy plugs while seafoaming then switch back when done - easy as pie

 

That's a good idea. I have crappy autolites that I can use lol.

 

I'll keep this pair of plugs in for the seafoaming, then change them to new ones and keep these. Good idea lol

 

^^

 

That's completely up to you. I ran it through my engine once before with no side effects. If you do put it in the oil, I think it's recommended to change it no later than 100 miles. Putting it in the gas tank is perfectly fine as well.

 

haha i literally just did the same thing. 66000 miles with never having a seafoam treatment. I did it twice through the vacuum line and got a lot of smoke both times.

 

This summer ill probably hit 50K miles would this be a good idea if you don't know if your engine has ever been cleaned? I take it to the dealer every now and then when something comes up, but do they don't clean the inside unless you ask them to and the dealer is normally high.. so is seafoam a good alternative??

 

It is an excellent thing to do. I wouldn't think of it as an alternative, I would think of it as the main thing to do to clean the internals yourself without ripping it apart. I'm going to when I change my oil, and many times after that.

 

gotcha i actually think im almost due for an oil change. but do the seafoam first right?

 

^ Right. 1/2 through the intake the rest in your gas tank.
Follow this how-to = easy.
Remember to thrash it on the road after you Seafoam.

 

ok sounds good!

 

Technically I think its 1/3 through the vacuum is what I've read and what was said in the vid.

 

Truthfully, the recommended split is 1/3 through the vacuum line, 1/3 in the oil (change before 100 miles) and 1/3 in the tank.

However, I've done full cans through the vacuum line or done half there and half in the tank. I don't really put it in my oil.

It's all up to you, really.

 

Well looks like I'll be doing 1/2 and 1/2 lol

 

I'll be Seafoaming mine again this weekend.

I think I'm going to do it every oil change from now on.

 

I'm gonna do it as soon as my new plugs come in the mail.

 

soo question ive seen people run the seafoam through the engine and then when they restart it they let it idle or rev it up and smoke poors out, other prefure to drive it around at a "decently agressive pace".... which way is better, id assume the driving would clear much more carbon then the sea foam?

 

Driving it imo. Revving the engine isn't as fun, and the cars under more of a load when you're driving than just revving..
