speak of truth, small carbon deposit helps older engines by working as sealant, people have confirmed it for decades. i have first hand expirenece on this issue. in 1999 i bought an 87 maxima for $3800 which had 150k on her. after driving around without major problems i ran into this "specialist" when doing the oil change at Tune-up Masters. they got me into a engine oil flush for 50 bucks. well they did washed out alot of gunks from the motor, but also it started burning oil, badly. every morning it would spill out the blue smoke at cold start, about 1 qt of oil every 1000 miles.

my point is, will seaform do the same thing?

oh, BTW, be honest, how many of you did it just because of the kick of the smoke. fire up the engine 7 o'clock in a sunday morning then run back in the garage laughing the the hell out of yourself.










i would.


i will

p.s. i dumped the Maxima after 6 months, bought a brand new Accord early 2000
