when to do seafome?

i wouldnt base how I maintain my truck purely on how Toyota recommends it. There have been a lot of great maintenance tips on this forum
that Toyota doesnt mention in their maintenance list, but they still benefit your truck.

 

More often than 5,000 miles? Uhh....no.

 

Seafoam isn't one of those maintenance items. Sorry...just don't believe its needed.

 

i agree its probably not totally needed. but after having clean out a gummed up carb in a mower that had been sitting for 5 months and using just a little seafoam in a tiller that had been sitting for around 3 years outside and having it fire up and run great. i dont think it would hurt to use a little in my truck every couple oil changes.

 

Why would I change synthetic oil sooner than 5,000 miles? And really, do I need a color chart to know when I'm supposed to change it?

The point I'm making here,is the synthetic oil I use (Mobile 1) removes sediment from the engine and I don't need to use seafoam.

 

This thread is killin me. With or without proper maintenance, the Toyota will keep running. Its been proven more than a few times. I worry about rust and rot?

 

I pray these new trucks can last as long as their older (stronger/reliable) generations have.

Not much you can do to prevent rust/rot and still drive it daily. You can try coatings & such, but you can't possiblely protect every single nook/cranny of the truck from rust. Atleast the drive-trains stay solid!!

 

I have 85k on my truck and really need to get the throttle body cleaned. Will this help, or should i just remove the throtle body and clean it manually.

 

you can leave the tb on the intake and just use some seafaom deep creep spray and a old toothbrush and rag.
