This product is a complete waist like most engine treatment and you want to risk pro longing the engine and components for a so called slight improvement.

[GreddyAccord99]

You mean its a complete "waste"? I thought that's what you meant.. Care to back up your statement? Mind telling me where the risk is?

[miagi84]

well obviously you did this at only 48K miles which tells me you either abused your engine or tried this just because you thought it could not hurt anything. it will damage things like piston rings, O2 sensors, anything other than oil in crankcase is not good anybody with common sense knows that. This clearly is one of those last resort products and that's what I meant by a "waste" considering the mileage. Just stating my opinion.

[GreddyAccord99]

I know you're stating your opinion, and I disagree with it. The car is not mine, its a friend of mine's. I am unaware of his driving habits so I could not tell you if he take poor care or not. It will damage the piston rings if you misuse this product, meaning more tha twice per year or letting the product sit in the engine for an extended period of time. The 02 sensors are a myth, they will not foul them, the people at Seafoam said it themselves. It would be a waste if the mileage was around 5k

When i did this with my 03 type s, it gave me better idle, better response, stronger powerband (at vtec of course...), and better overall mpg.

@miagi84

You clearly have never read the label. It's 100% petroleum. This is not bad for the motor at all. You're a moron.

[friendlysloth]

did this to my tl today... it is awesome... the idle is much smoother...

@splewy

The only thing I saw happen in auto tech if you poured too much at once is the engine just stalls, seafoam isn't water, it is combustible

[splewy]

@xoquixxoqafxo I'm just saying that I've always seen it done by putting the cleaner in a cup, and running the hose from the cup to the vacuum line. That way the engine sucks up the cleaner on it's own at a a slow and even rate, and it pretty much eliminates the risk of hydrolocking. If you were in auto tech school you've probably seen a hydrolocked engine, and you know the damage that sucking up too much of a liquid too fast can do.

@splewy

No he did it exactly right. I took an Auto Tech class for 2 years and my instructor who is an ASE certified mechanic for over 20 years showed us how to use sea foam and it was exactly like this.

[splewy]

Pouring a liquid straight into a vacuum line like the guy is doing in the video seems like a REALLY bad idea IMO. Simply pouring in a top engine cleaner doesn't give you very good control of the flow. Liquids don't compress, and you could hydrolock the engine if you let it suck up too much too fast.

@miagi84 You are so wrong. This stuff has been proven not to harm any parts in the motor. It's been around a long long time. Do research before you post a dumb comment. Seafoam works great.....

[DeeeJayThrash]

you did misuse the product sir

and as for O2 sensors just because someones says it wont harm them do the research find out for yourself how to properly use seafoam

[testosterone325]

and oh yeah if the engine needed seafoam, there would be a shit load more exhaust smoke and greyish. this guy wasted his time and took life off his vehicle.
