[mikek18]

My car has 110k on it and I was thinking about doing the full seafoam treatment before my first oil change. Has anyone in Grand Rapids area done this and maybe willing to give me a hand.

i was thinking of doin it to my car aswell but wasnt sure where to get it or cost.

[mikek18]

its pretty cheap, 15 to 20 bucks from pretty much any auto store. but it involves using the vaccum lines wich is beyond my level of knowledge

Check YOUTUBE.COM. It's all over that site, just search it out. I've not done this to my car.

Read the tutorial we have here

Did it through my vaccum line, oil, and the gas tank and helped Yoshi out alot.


Oh and used the Deep Creed I think its called? for the TB

[mikek18]

i read the tutorial here but i gues im just a little nervous. Would like to have someone who has done it help me out. im gonna check out the you tube videos as well. maybe me and craig could chip in and buy some pizza and beer for someone to come give us a hand

Its not hard at all man.. Just disconnect the line.. Pour the seafoam in slowly little at a time then you want to quickly pour it in to try and stall the car. If it doesnt run and shut the car off.. Let the car sit for about 20min and if you use the TB cleaner.. go to town. Start it up and watch the smoke go crazy (its normal especially if it hasnt been cleaned good before) I had TONS of smoke come out of Yoshi when I first did it it was insane. I maybe let it idle for a good 10min, jumped in the car, took it on the highway and put my lil 6 banger balls to the wall then cruised lol. Watching the smoke come out on the highway was different.


Just that putting it through your oil helped the car but can cause a problem that was waiting to happen. I think it happened to Nick and his formula. But 110k I dont see a problem why it should. I did it through mine and I had about 170K when I did it and didnt cause 1 problem. Just need to make sure you do an oil change after about 150-200miles. If your due up for an oil change soon, you mid as well.

Dumping it into your gastank is just like running fuel injector cleaner through it

And I seafoam once a year. I dont think I am suppose to but I do alot of driving since this is my DD and rack up miles by the minute

[mikek18]

ok so I just read the full write up on ls1tech that derek used and watched about 10 videos as well. i feel pretty comfortable doing it. still wouldnt mind having someone there but i think i can manage if not. definatly sounds like its easier with 2 people.

i think im gonna do my navigator soon to. got 175k on that. lol

Go for it... If you have a Vid camera.. Once you start the car after letting it sit capture the vid .... I have one of Yoshi but that was the 2nd time I did it and not as much smoke but still enough. I wont dump any seafoam in untill mid summer

[BP_Z28]

Or maybe give Chevron techron a chance? I think its almost the same as seafoam is not better IDK... Dont really remember the talk I had with the guy about it

[mikek18]

When I do it Im gonna record the whole thing.

lol, it doesnt take an ase master tech to do this simple little job.
I did this on my old firebird. I also did this on my friends lt1 formula and on another friends grand prix GTP. its super easy and if you follow the howto STEP BY STEP, you absolutely cannot go wrong. The brake booster vaccum line was very easy to get at and use. I never did bother with that seafoam deep creep stuff because I could never find someone who sold the stuff! But yea, otherwise its a super simple job, and your oil will come out as dark as satan. Sometime this spring/summer I could help you with it but its so easy you could do it no problem, just need a small funnel, and a flathead screwdriver if I recall.

when should i change the oil after doing it
