lewdog Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Pretty much sums it up. I just bought a 2004 Forester with 17,000 miles on it. How often do you use Seafoam (or whatever engine/gas/etc. cleaners) and at what mileage would you initially use it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnuman Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Hutch, that was an honest question, and your insulting "answer" was out of line. Lewdog: I doubt you will need it for some time to come. I recomend it every 50,000 to 100,000 miles. I doubt you will need it before 100,000, particularly if you use decent gas. Despite what Hutch said, you are not an idiot for asking that question, given that you were not sure. If you had not asked it, then you might have been Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smpol19 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I probably wouldn't worry about it until 30,000 miles at the earliest, unless you are having issues or use crappy gas. After that probably every 30,000 or so depending on conditions. I usually run it though the PCV line or brake booster, some people on here also put it in their gas and/or oil.

hutch85 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Gnuman dont worry, I am unfortunately his brother. A forum insult seemed especially amusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juan Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Isn't it obvious that Seafoam posts are simply planted advertising intended to get product attention? I laugh every time I see one. The pattern and titles of the posts are simply too "convenient". I can't believe these posts are taken seriously. Juan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fnlyfnd Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 paranoid or something of the form. I had a post about seafoam maybe 4 months ago. It was the first time I have ever used the stuff. It helped my cold morning tick somewhat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frag Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I think were seeing here a rather rapid progression from Seafoam to mouthfoam... My opinion is that the latter should be used very sparingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortlid Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 First time I have seen Seafoam was about ten years ago in the Mid-west. Used for off-seasoning outboard boat motors. Along with MMO I use both and have had results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
