If you want clean the oiling system in you're engine the easeast way to do it is just top off you're oil with atf about 500 miles before you're next oil change.

 

how long should you go before changing your plugs anfter using seafoam i heard that it could fould them, and also possibly o2 sensor and cat?

 

you're the second person that i've heard say this, but it mentions nothing about this on the bottle or the website

so should i not worry about the plugs,o2 sensor, or even my cat from this product?

 

ok i just went to advance auto parts so ill let everyone know how it works out

 

yotarunner,

if you have to ask these questions, you haven't searched hard enough

there is a GIGANTIC seafoam thread somewhere that you need to find and read very, very carefully. it answers all the questions and techniques and even has one or two horror stories.

git 'r done!

i have searched that thread and i was wondering what anyones input on those few things were because a few have changed plugs or commented on the o2 sensor and cat, and a few also have not mentioned them at all.

 

So is the PCV valve ok to use in your opinion to introduce SF to the system?

 

the ones that havce not commented about removing plugs or 02 sensors didnt have obd2 codes come up, thats why. as i'm sure you've read, alot of carbon "gunk" is released in the process and is expelled out or loosened. that stuff has to go somewhere and in the case of the 02 sensor, it often gets gummed up and triggers a code or is well on the way to it

if you can, find an old 02 sensor and plug that in and reinstall your good one when youre done w/ the SF treatment. same w/ the spark plugs. i am waiting a few more thousand miles to do the SF when the service life of my plugs are nearing their end.

instead of finding a used o2 sensor for now could i just use mine and check it soon, then clean it off if there is gunk all over it?

 

just do it ,its not gonna hurt anything on that new of a truck
christ ,you guys act like you tearing off layers of gunk ,its fine ,do it

 

Man, I have to try this stuff! My 92' Runner has a few issues that I am trying to kick out. I'll give you a full report.

 

Napa and Carquest both have Seafoam now in Canada in case people are looking.

 

I've been using it for about five years. Learned about it on the Crown Vic forum. Lots of police departments swear by it. Contrary to some stories, I have found all my internal engine parts, carbs, injectors, and plugs to look like brand new after a Seafoam treatment.

Iuse it in my 98 Honda Aero 1100 V Twin bike w/ 60000 miles., my 92 Honda Accord w/260000 miles, my 92 F150 w/ 140000 miles, my 96 Crown Vic w/255000 miles, and all lawn tracters, weed wackers, and gocarts and chainsaws. Nothing I own has ever had a major repair.

And now I'm starting out my 1999 t4r 2.7 with it. And I'm an aircraft mech for Delta, so I got no dawg in this fight. Oh yeah, never tried it in the crankcase.
