I use it almost every time I do an oil change. I don't notice much of a difference anymore, but when I first started to use it, I DID notice a big difference. Smoother powerband and idle. Give it a try, it's worth the 3 or 4 dollars. Run it through the brake booster vacuum line. I disconnect it and stick it in the top of the bottle and let it suck slowly. The car will chug a bit, but don't let it die. When you start the car, you'll probably be scared because it will misfire at first, but make sure to keep the revs at about 2500rpm. Give it about thirty seconds and it will start to POUR white smoke and the idle will smooth out. BTW the smoke could take as much as ten minutes to disapate.

pour white smoke.... hmmm hehehehehhehehehe damn i think i wanna buy a can of that stuff just for the smoke effect hahahaha. Scare the neighbours. How much white smoke does it pour out?

[deCksy]

it should work on any motor, I tried it on my sr, no problemn

one thing I want to add is that don't drown the vacuum line otherwise you might stall. If you can, maintain a 2000rpm rev while you do this

[biglipzit]

you are suppose to drown the vacuum line and use the throttle body to keep the revs up at the same time. That is the only way to get the vacuum to suck it if u aint poruing it in there somehow. Thanks for the link to the thread that was amazing. I am gonna have to do that at the entrance to my school and drive in like that one day hehehehehehhe. *Holy smoke screen batman!*

[Fenvy]

hm

that's not true for me, for both the ka and sr, both had enough vacuum from the brake booster, I even used a straw to limit the amount of seamfoam it'll suck up

[biglipzit]

lol well I don't know why I am even argueing with ya, you have used it and I haven't yet lol so you must know more about this stuff than me

Heard it thins out your oil so it's not good to drive your car afterwards.Is this correct?After seafoaming you should change your oil.

[Fenvy]

correct, for the oil (crank case) part, you should make sure the car is in running temperature, turn it off, dump 1 pint of seafoam into the oil, let it idle for 10 min and do an oil change.

if try to drown the vacuum line from brake booster into a cup of seafoam, your car will stall. In some cases I heard you might even hydrolock. So... just let it take small sips with plenty of fresh air. If you are using a straw like me, make sure you bend the straw a little so it doens't get sucked in as well. Um not like it happened to me but I can just imagine someone doing that.

[Florida240sx]

That's where my straw went....So if you go through the vaccum no need for oil change?Same for fuel?Maybe replace filter?

[Fenvy]

are you reading the direction on the bottle at all? you should

you need to do it to all 3, 1 pint in gas tank, 1 pint in oil, 1 pint in the vacuum

some said that it will hurt your o2 sensor, some also say that you shoudl change your oil filter. I think it's really up to you. The bottle did say "safe for o2 sensor" so I assume previous forumla did give o2 sensor some problem. If oil filter is due for a change or you're looking for a reason to upgrade to z32 oil filter, go for it.
