SeaFoam b-4 oil change?

Post by teamcrossworks »

Has anyone tried using SeaFoam oil additive before an oil change?

I've read good and bad things but the claim is: it helps clean gunk off the internals before an oil change.

With 92,000 + I was thinking it might be a good idea.

Go for it. Lots of us with 850's have done a Seafoam treatment.

Yes, the stuff is quite good at getting all the gunk outta your car. Pour a can in the oil, drive for 200mi or so and then change it. The oil will be super yucky and your car will feel good.
