Der_Vier Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I recently ran a can o fseafoam in my gas tank about a month ago. I was thinking of pouring it into my engine via the oil fill location on the top. Would this be overkill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read through them (or most other topics to be found about it here), you'll see mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 I was thinking of pouring it into my engine via the oil fill location on the top. Would this be overkill? It is part of the directions, but how long to keep it in is often debated, much less if it is wise to add solvents to the crankcase. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towncivilian Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Don't bother. There are also better products than Seafoam for fuel system cleaning, the threads linked above have details. I don't feel like typing it out again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I love how so many people come on this forum with a problem and think the best solution is "mechanic in a can". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devonianwalk Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 I love how so many people come on this forum with a problem and think the best solution is "mechanic in a can". Less path of resistance, I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbinger Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Yeah, lots of varying opinions. Seafoam really helped my motorcycle out last spring, and I have a can in my truck to stabilize the gas. Never done the vac/crankcase/exhaust though, so well, there ya go.

silverton Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 if the inside of your motor is dirty (sludgy), using seafoam will break it free, so you'll want to change your oil & filter within 500-1000 miles. Using good motor oil will do the same thing, but at a slower and safer rate. The only thing seafoam is really good for is blanketing your neighborhood in white smoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der_Vier Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 @!*%, sorry guys I should've searched before asking. :stickwack: Yeah I was just curious about it. No problems but I just figured i'd consider it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
