Can anybody help me out as to how to add seafoam to my 2000 Blaze 4wd?!? I would like to add it directly to the intake... But I don't know the best way to get it there... Anybody have pictures?!?

Thanks!

 

I disconnect the vaccum line going to the brake booster and suck it in through there. Just start you car up, disconnect line, and suck in the seafoam.

 

Sweet! I think I'll give it a try... How much seafoam do you use in a treatment?

Does your car ever have problems staying running while your vacuum hose is disconnected?

Thanks!

the whole can, I do 1/3 vacuum,1/3 crankcase and the other 1/3rd into the gas tank.

 

I've heard bad things about adding it to your crankcase. Like it will cause oil leaks and you have to change your oil right away. Just what I heard???

 

Chances are that if the use of an engine oil flush resulted in oil leaks, the leaks were there and would have become a problem sooner or later. When oil builds up in areas and is allowed cake up (sludge), it will eat any seals that it lays on. Leaks may not result as the sludge will plug the leak for a time.

Anyway, I have never used seafoam in the crankcase. I only use 1 full bottle down through the throttle body, 2/3rds while keeping the engine running and the last 1/3rd, I'll let the engine die. Let it sit for a good 1/2 hour to soak and then drive it at higher RPMs until the smoke clears out of the exhaust. Most often I'll swap the plugs out or atleast check them after a treatment and I ALWAYS change the oil whenever I have done an upper intake cleaning. If you schedule it right before a regular oil change, no time/$$ lost.

I also do not use seafoam in the gas tank as I feel there are quite a few other better products for the purpose of fuel system treatment (GM Fuel System Treatment Plus) or fuel injector cleaning (Chevron w/ Techron). I use a bottle of GM Fuel System Treatment Plus every other oil change and a bottle of Chevron w/ Techron every other oil change opposite the GM treatment. The treatment will keep sulfur deposits off of the fuel level sender. Chevron will keep the injectors firing efficiently. Neither of these products are particularly expensive.

 

DAMN!!! I just changed my oil... I guess I'll wait till my next oil change!!
