Re: Sea foam ??

Directly in to the oil fill, no. Ran it thru my intake and put some in the gasoline in my 79 K5 that had a 400 in it. Made it smoke like a bonfire for 20 minutes or so but then never again. Really smoothed out the idle and just in general made it run a lot better.

Re: Sea foam ??

I've had good luck using it in oil in older engines to free stuck lifters, loosen varnish, etc. I just add it to oil and let it run for 30 min. or so and then dump and add new oil/filter.

Re: Sea foam ??

if i was you i would not add it to oil. if you want to use it start the truck and pull a vaccum line and put the hose in the sea foam it will clean intake runners and valves. i may would dump some in the gas but thats it

Re: Sea foam ??

I also wouldn't put it in the oil... but I've poured it into carbs and fuel tanks and had it really smooth out an engine.

I love it for a rough idle.

Re: Sea foam ??

I didn't know you could add it to oil, only used it in the fuel, and you need to have a new fuel filter ready when you do use it cause it will plug up in no time. Just my .02
