I have a '95 Pathy XE 4x4 with 175K miles. It runs ok and want to add Sea Foam to the tank and crankcase but want to do this correctly. I've seen a few alternative ways to do this but want advice on how to do it correctly the first time; how much to really add, vacuum line removal, etc. Some people may or may not like Sea Foam and will recommend something else so please advise on using Sea Foam here only. Soooo...fire away...

Thanks

I put a can of the Motor Treatment in the gas tank after filling up, and another can down the oil filler neck (where you'd normally fill the engine with oil). After it had run for 3k miles, I replaced the oil. I didn't notice any difference in performance or noise, which I suppose is the best possible scenario :biggrin:

I think there's other ways of doing it, like letting a little get sucked up by a vacuum hose into the intake, but I haven't tried anything like that yet. I may if I end up feeling frisky sometime this summer :chuckle:

Let us know how it goes for you!
