When you put ut in the oil and only drive around with it for 100 miles before changing it, do you use crappier oil or the same oil you run usually?

 

Give a quick search, this topic has been posted to death. Use cheap oil, no sense payin $9/quart for oil that you're going to use for 100 miles. Or, just wait until 100 miles before you would normally change the good oil and put the seafoam in then.

 

Agree with CCA. I've used Seafoam plenty of times and what I've done in the past is put the Seafoam in my crankcase roughly 200 miles before my oil change and don't waste money on oil in the first place. But honestly you can run Seafoam as long as you want until your oil because noticeably dirty. Be more cautious when using it in a turbo'd engine though. I only use it in my 1.8T for about 100 miles before I switch it out, but anything else you can run until oil becomes dirty so it gets a good clean.

 

Yeah i have a 1.8t. I got 2 cans put half a can in through 2 different vacuum lines. Put half a can in with half a tank of gas. Put another half a can in with oil. Probably gonna suck the other remaining half can through vacuum lines again. This ***** magic. Got my engine running better than it ever has. No more lifter noise, or tapping, or whatever sounds was present. This was my first time using seafoam.

 

Sheasta, can you take a pic of the vacuum lines that you used to put Seafoam into? I'm getting a CEL and want to Seafoam the engine before I do anything else.... THANKS IN ADVANCE!

 

Seafoam is volatile (like gasoline, or kerosene) and will evaporate out of your crank case after about an hour of run time once the engine gets up to temperature, so anything after an hour is overkill.
