Default seafoam is the shiv, just don't use it too much (like every other oil change is good)

because it's solvent based and the rubber seals don't like it too much

That's why I heard it's a bad idea.

Default it's great for periodic use, like I said. I don't recommend using it through the intake

in broad daylight though, it can create quite a smokescreen from all the stuff it's cleaned out

Default WOW, awesome result.

fwiw, I'd still run some Auto-Rx thru it.

A pristine example for comparison....

Default I took it around the block, and into 280 for a mile and full throttle, smoked 90% of the way

I could barely see out my rear window

Default so where does all the crud go?

does it really break it up enough that it gets into the oil filter?

Default ouch. nasty sludge build up. your car? how did you clean it?

just multiple seafoam flushes or did you break out the toothbrush?

Definitely a good cleanup job.
