was also concerned about cleaning things that havent seen the light of day in 16yrs or so (kinda the if its not broken dont fix it thinking behind this) yea clean is good but cleaning old can lead to more issues.... any thoughts ?

Hey everyone! my 94 na isn't leaking oil at but it is burning thru about half a quart every 2 weeks.
would seafoam help this? should i put it in oil or gas or both? it has a little tick for about 2 min when i first start it but it goes away after its warmed up. Lifters?
all maintainance is up to date. new pcv in last 2000 miles. recent timing belt.
149000 miles.

I don't know if it's going to help, but it sure is not going to harm.

Between this and the unclogged PCV system, oil change, and ATF flush I've done, this thing really gets up and moves now!

The first two miles are fun, you're spewing smoke everywhere and every time you push the gas the smoke cloud gets bigger
