what kind of specifics are you looking for?

i was just browsing NAM when i cam across the seafoam treatment. my car only had 24k miles on it but i thought what the hell, lets see what the hype is about. i did the treatment and a big plume of smoke came out and i noticed a difference in the engine.

just read through this and decide for yourself. it wouldnt hurt to do it and it doesnt cost an arm and a leg.

Yes, it does produce a lot of smoke, but what was the "difference" you noticed with the motor after the treatment?

Thanks,

im not sure exactly how to describe the difference but the engine seemed to be more responsive and the shifts felt smoother (i have an auto if that makes any difference).

i'd say do it if you have the time. it couldn't hurt.

has anyone added sefoam to your engine oil prior to oil change? i was reading seafoam directions and it says you can add it to your engine oil approximately 30 miles prior to oil change. has aytone tried this method and is there any difference in the engine performance after treatment? any reply is appreciated, thanks
