Sea foam?

hi everyone hope everyone’s doing fine ..
I have a question I wanted to know if anyone has ever used “Sea Foam” motor treatment on their Tacoma? And if so did you see a difference . Or has anyone used a treatment like this that works or did you see a difference if so can you reply with products .. thanks

My Tacoma is a 2011 4.0L with 105500 miles

 

That stuff is great

 

I run a bottle of the Supertech “seafoam” in my tank once every 5000 miles and i also put some in the oil 100 miles before i chance it every time (5000 mile intervals)

 

The stuff works great on engines that sit a lot. I use it on all of my small engines. (mower, generator).

For a daily driver it will still clean the fuel injectors and stuff and make a small difference. I like to put some in the oil about a week before I change it, and some in the gas. That way any gunk cleaned is removed when I change the oil.

 

Thanks for all the reply’s

 

good schidt for above uses........

$7/can money well spent....

but every oil change ? ounce per quart.....gonna be a super clean motor !

Gumout do the same thing ?

 

Yes its all the same thing just another brand on the list. Id perfer to keep my motor clean inside and out lol, things tend to last longer if there taken care of

 

^^^^^^^ yep........me too !

 

I just throw it in my gas tank and call er good goes through a lot and cleans!

 

But I'm gonna start using it in my oil too

 

You wont see a change unless you have something fuel related clogged. Throwing a can in doesn’t hurt anything.

 

I know it says oil on it but it has never occurred to me to try it in oil. Well now I have to. Good thing too since my oil change is coming up this weekend.

 

one oz per quart.........

run 2-300 miles before oil change

as per info

 

Bought a can put just under half probably 6 ounces in the oil decided to pull the vacuum hose from the brake booster and suck the rest up in the fuel system. Didn't get as much smoke as I expected. Is it normal to not get a ton of smoke like some people have shown? Did get some but it didn't come out of exhuast mostly out of front.

 

As long as oil is chanced at reasonable intervals. There’s no need to add it to your oil. Any fuel system cleaner with PEA is all you need.

 

I'm not sure how well it maintained prior to me. My father had it about 2 years and I know during that time he probably kept up on it but he was getting sick. He ended up passing away ehich is when i got it. Prior to that not much info on previous owner/maintenance but seems to be in decent shape overall. Doing the first change since I had it this weekend and figured it wouldn't hurt to add a bit to the oil like some here suggested since I was gonna do the fuel system clean anyways.

 

Just your wallet.

 

I have never added it to the vacuum system. Again it works best on engines that have sat for a while. Like a boat motor that has not run in 6 months. In those cases it will clear up any gelled/old fuel and deposits. On a regularly ran engine, it can help clean it but most likely there is not much to clean.

 

I've used it in other vehicles in the past through the brake booster vaccum line. In a 99 Grand Am with 145K miles. I saw tons of carbon smoke coming out. I didn't really notice a significant change but maybe more of a peace of mind that things are a little cleaner and some of the Carbon is now out in the driveway. I might get a can and run through my Tacoma (14 with 75k miles) but only with the mindset of preventative maintenance. Not expecting noticeable power gain or MPG gain.
