Did u put it in the oil and brake booster? It only smokes when u put it in the brake booster and maybe the oil.

I did it yesterday and it smoked really havent noticed a difference yet but well see other than the smoke that is.

mine smoked when I did it in my first Ranger...I got a letter from the HOA (home owners assoc.) a couple of days letter about the smoke issue...now I'll only do it at night when people arent driving around as much and not takin' as many walks around the neighborhood...

I don't think the stuff that comes in the spray bottle is the same stuff that comes in the can....so I wouldn't do it personally. Sea Foam comes in One size and it costs around $5.88. You can put it in your gas, you can put it in your oil, you can put it in your PCV line, you can put it in your brake booster line. Tank, for Diesels, the back of the Sea Foam Can suggests taking off your fuel filter and filling it with Sea Foam and then putting it back on and running it.....

I've never understood why people say to change your oil after you put it through the intake manifold, except for the PCV lines, your intake should have NO other way to the oil, therefore, no need to change your oil. I know you've gotta change the oil if you put the Sea Foam into the crankcase, but thats the only way....

About the Sea Foam hurting your engine, I dunno, I've put many bottles in my gas and some in through my PCV line, no problems here so far. It shouldn't hurt sensors, it should clean em up if anything.

I didn't notice as much smoke as some do(my friends Z71 smoked a lot more than mine), but I don't think I let mine sit for long enough, I think the longer you let it sit the more it smokes.

I used it 2 times in my old 99 Z71 and it helped like crazy. It made the pre-detonation go away (pinging).
All it does it soften the carbon deposits so the engine can burn them..thats what creates the smoke!

I put sea foam in the gas tank, in the oil, in the pcv valve, and throught the brake booster line. there was not a bit of smoke to be seen, not any funny smells, nothing????????????? Why wouldn't it do anything to mine*it's a 97' by the way*

I just got my oil changed, so should I just wait and add it to the gas tank and oil at one time or is it okay to just do the tank now, then add it to the oil right before my next oil change?

So if u put it in the crankcase do u have to change the oil right away?

December 8, 2006

you can get seafoam at most auto parts stores, in california autozone carries it. word of caution if you put it in your oil, it changes the viscosity of the oil, cost me a main bearing on my v-10, now prior to doing it motor ran good, 1 week after ran like crap. i am not saying it was the cause, but kinda of suspicious. anyway i still use it in the gas tank, oh and thank the lord for extended warranties
