Seafoam question

[SVTcobra04]

If i put it in through a vacuum line will it clean out all my vacuum lines throughout the engine?

 

[JDraper]

Nope...vacuum lines pull into the motor. It will only clean the vacuum lines that you put it in, or that it has to travel through to get to the motor. Once it's at the motor it won't "back up" into other vacuum lines.

makes sense.... would it clean out the intake manifold? And ive read you can put it in the oil but it seems ppl dont like doing this, whys that?

Somewhat off topic, I realize, but don't I know you from the TFP?

yeah what does seafoam do when you put it in oil, do you have to change oil afterwards, sorry but i'm a newb to actually owning a truck and i want to take care of my x.

From what I understand, when Seafoam is put in the oil, the gunk that is loosened up has a risk of fouling your oil pump. This creates major problems, and is a PITA do fix, so your better off to avoid the situation altogether

im not putting seafoam in my oil then

 

[metalmechanic]

no...supposed to be great in the intake and in from the fuel tank. I have yet to do mine, but will soon

 

[Bill O'Rights]

Tfp?

Guess not. You're running the same handle as a guy I used to know from another forum, the Tilted Forum Project.

Anyway, I have heard, but have yet to try, great things about sea foam, when run through the fuel tank. Very little good about adding to your oil. I personally don't like to add anything to my oil.
