did it, im sure it did good things for the car but you cannot feel any difference. don't be a dumbass i read abotu some guy that ran like 5 cans through his car and swore that it was increasing power everytime and then next his seals went just do like 1/3 the can like it says. it did run a little smoother at idle after i put this through. do a oil change after though.

Seafoam basically cleans out the carbon deposits in your engine. If your motor has carbon deposits on the valve seats or anywhere else from high mileage...the carbon deposits might be giving you the "seal" for good compression, prevent oil from seeping into the combustion chamber, or it can just be your motor depending on the carbon seals...once you run seafoam through your motor, that seal is gone and you can possibly burn oil...or not...run better or worse...that's what I heard about it.
Just make sure to change your oil and spark plugs after you create the big ass clouds of smoke from running the seafoam.2000 FBP EM1

Used seafoam on all my boys cars before they do emissions. I would pour it in there vacuum line and than after i would change there spark plugs, change oil, and slap on a new air filter and go straight to a emissions shop and pass with flying colors. And also i ran seafoam on a 200,xxx mileage car and the car is running like a champ. No more ticking, knocking, pinging, and defiantly i noticed idle difference.. Very good stuff, just dont over do it. And i also used this on a turbo single cam, helped alot also.User name is no longer in use! New User name is POGIMOTO!

Take off your intake mani and look at the chimney aka carbon build up..
You think something for $6 a can will get rid of all that?...
