I wanted to know what it is exactly that seafoam does and also is it really any good cus I've read that Mopar Combustion Chamber Cleaner is better and cheaper but idk

 

Sea Foam claims to fix whatever ails you and your car. I have found that it is especially good for creating a smoke screen and chasing annoying bugs away in the summer.

 

i wouldnt recommend it i would use a lucas fuel injector cleaner personnaly

 

It does what it says as far as I am concerned. In my 99 3.8 I had a lifter sticking (Taping on start up) this went on for a few weeks. Then I added sea foam to the oil ran it 100 miles or so and changed the oil. Then with clean oil in I added it again and ran it for about 500 miles. I then changed the oil and have been running just oil since. The lifer Quit sticking after the first 100 or so miles and that has been 6 months ago

 

Hmm...ha ok id probably check it out just to see myself thanks for the opinions

 

Nothing magical about sea foam. Since oil and gas are fossil fuels they tend to form carbon deposits. Sea foam just mixes with petroleum produces well and it breaks up hard carbon deposits. There are dozens of products that can do this but the other company would rather package their stuff as either injection cleaner or oil additives. In many cases you can find a better product for your exact issue.
I am not knocking Sea foam it is great for GM lifters but I never drive a car with it in. I am more likely to just let the car idle for an hour with the sea foam in it and then change the oil/filter with the car hot. If your oil is real bad you may want to change it twice because the dirty oil cannot carry away dirt very well. I have also had customers that the sea foam did not work while it was in the shop but two or three days later the lifter quiets down.

Old timers trick on a car that was slugged up was to drain the oil and install kerosene and a new filter. Let it idle up to temp (about 20 minutes) then put in new oil and another filter. Sea foam seems to do the same thing.

 

Cool thanks that was actually really informative

 

from my experience seafoam does have one advantage, if you run it in the vacuum line, suck it into the air intake, and let it sit for about 20-30 min ( in addition to the crank case) and then run it for 20-30 min it will clean out the intake, fuel additives, and other cleaners don't. The only reason i push this is that most people are interested in fuel economy and smoother sounding idles. cleaning the intake out through the vacuum line will do both. HOWEVER. i would only do this, before changing the spark plugs. This has a tendency to foul good plugs, by throwing a ton of nasty build up into the cylinder. (nothing that's going to harm it, it will burn out) So, next time you are doing a tune up, consider it, but don't isolate yourself to it... Personally, I use it for my wife's turbocharged car because the intake gets nasty quick...
