- Lets take a look at how to superclean the inside of your engine using Seafoam!
Seafoam: amzn.to/2U1Drxt
Seafoam Aerosol: amzn.to/3n2dPwJ
Oil Catch Can: amzn.to/3k9BedG
In my last video, we installed a cheap Oil Catch can to help our engine from collecting oil. Lots of people were interested and it was a pretty cheap mod. I will mention that heater hose does tend to collapse a little under the vacuum. So a switch to a stronger hose might be needed.
So now that we have stopped our Jeeps engine from getting dirtier, how do we clean out the years of gunk??
Thats what seafoam is. It is a Engine cleaner product that has been around for a long time and works well. Seafoam is advertised to: Cure hesitation, stalls, pings, flat spots and rough idle due to carbon buildup. It also cleans your engine valves and pistons.
There are multiple ways to use it, and in this video we go over that.
We seafoam my 2010 Jeep wrangler, and the 2020 Jeep Gladiator.
As you can tell, its a pretty easy process that takes very little time.
I know this wasnt the most exciting video, however it is a very easy project that i would recommend to most jeep owners. After all, a clean engine is a happy engine, and we all know that we need every Horsepower and MPG that we can get from these engines!!
Thanks for watching, stay tuned for more videos dropping soon!
Back in the 70's when I was a kid, I used Kysite motor tune up.. I rigged out the whole neighborhood!.. wasn't a mosquito left anywhere in the neighborhood. 😂
CASITE, sold a bunch of it.
Hey guys great video. but I've got to add something important here. As an Engineer who deals with failure mode analysis in an industrial environment, and veteran jeeper, please please please note: If you have less than 50k or so miles, it's much safer to NOT do it that way. Just use it in the tank through the fuel system then maybe once a year or after another 20k or 30k. I've used and studied this stuff and the reason it works well is because of its potency. That said, when it sits in those pistons they will have a very dry / gritty start which is where the potential for damage comes in. Especially if someone puts in too much. Just food for thought.
THANK YOU for this comment, because I was about to do it on my 51k mile jeep where she’s pretty clean already and I guess I was going for a more preventative maintenance trick but this is well needed advice.
I got my first Newer Jeep last year ( 2012 ) I’m a old school off-roading enthusiast am thankful you share these videos, you have saved me many headaches and heart breaks ! Thank you keep up the great videos… much love from the original sanddog
Oh boy, I got the 2012 too. Rough year for jeep
Hey Ben, don't ever think your videos are boring or non informative. I personally enjoy your videos and content, so keep doing what your doing.
So, looooong story short. THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. I had a cyl 6 misfire code. Replaced ALL the injectors, coils, plugs AND O2 sensors. Code remained. Followed your tips in this vid and codes disappeared and JK idles like a champ. Smoke bailed out as I drove through my neighborhood. You were right. I got looks. Had a po300 code come and go during the bad smoke. A Lot of hesitation and lag. Just kept driving. Within about 10-15 minutes, all the exhaust had cleared up and the engine was doing great. So grateful you made this video and the RUclips rabbit hole led me to it. You guys rock. 👍👍👍
Your videos are top notch even doing something so simple like this keeps me glued to the screen man. Keep it up 👍🏻
Thank you! That means alot
I have a 2016 jku rubicon with 113000km, do you think seafoaming it would be ok?
Good info. One tip I recommend is run this before you put in new spark plugs. Using the seafoam I've noticed can create a little bit of build up on occasion on the spark plugs.
Love the videos... just picked up a 2017 Rubi.... havn't owned a Wrangler since the early 90's ... this is bone stock... so i have a TON of work ahead of me... gonna be using your videos for help and guidance over the next few projects.. Love Seafoam... used it for years.... keep up the great work guys.... can't wait to watch more.
Thank you for the info. I've used the stuff for years. I also use it on my lawnmower and snowblower as well at the end of the season.
Thanks for ther video guys!
Thanks for the video, very informative! The sky background is awesome! It reminds me why I love Texas. Glad you re in our state. We welcome you with open arms. (North Texas Jeep Club)
Well i tried the seafoam in the tank when i went to Oklahoma and i have to say that i got better gas mileage on the 2nd tank after running the tank with seafoam in it. I was getting around 17 mpg now it gets 20mpg. Now im running stock Except for the BFG K2 tires. I would Recommend this to everyone. Thanks a million for doing this video.
Sea foam is some good stuff
And I have to add how good that exhaust sounds on the gladiator
This video is perfect to go hand in hand with the oil catch can. I’ve been using seafoam in my Comanche for a while now since that engine is so old, and after seeing the catch can I’m going to buy that and seafoam for the JK as well!!
Every oil change I dump some fuel system cleaner in my wife's LJ. I clean the throttle body every 3rd or 4th oil change. Started that routine at 15k miles now we're on 170k still running ok. Change the plugs every 30k. They always look fairly clean. Thanks for the vids.
Great info. Glad you're doing the Hemi vs.LS. Really dig the kids riding Gladiator!
Seafoam's competitor- Chevron Techron is what I used in my motorcycle gas tank. The neck/tank was typical rusty, brown looking. The next time I opened it it looked shiny and brand new. Obviously this stuff works. It's nice to see it instead of 'hoping' the inside of your engine is clean. So if Chevron works, Seafoam would too. I've used the Seafoam straw before. I did just cram it into the inlet air tube and let-er-fly!!
Another really good use for it is to add it to your oil for the last 1,000 miles before an oil change or atleast a few days before an oil change. It really cleans the engine super good. Friend of mines been doing this and he had to change injectors on his 2003 6.0l powerstroke with 300k miles, when he took the valve cover off the heads looked brand new. No sludge or buildup of any kind at all.
Very educational 👍🏼👍🏼
I love all your videos
Keep them coming im a huge fan since u used to live in VA.
Great video. These kinds of videos help a lot of people. Thanks guys.
Love it guys, simple little clean up vids like this keep me coming back for mire. I'm guessing its the same method for all cars. thinking to give the mrs Swift a go at this stuff.
Thanks for the info guys. I enjoy your channel, keep up the good work.
I have yet to see a “boring” video on here. You guys could make a video of paint drying and I’d probably still watch start to finish, y’all are good people, keep it up! 🤙🏼
Ben i just found you trying to get my cylinder 2 and 5 to fire in my wrangler. Glad you are doing well!!
We all know life gets in the way sometimes. Thanks for the update and a little how to
I've used Seafoam in my lawn mower and snow blower, but never on vehicles. Going to have to give it a try.
I'm in, always like watching y'alls videos. Keep it up!
Evening Ben, It’s Wade Skinner I have used sea foam in my Jeep CJ7 258 inline 6 engine today for the first time ever. Drove it around down town Waxhaw North Carolina and back home to Indian Trail North Carolina , it didn’t smoke or anything like that . My Jeep CJ7 drove very well. A fellow I mentioned this to said when he put it in his ‘02 TJ Wrangler it gummed up 1 of his sensors , he could not drive it for 6 months he says . But I had issues though I do have the Carter BBD Single Barrel Carburetor on my I6 engine. I wanted to let you know that I watch all your and Cassie’s videos.
Hell yeah man. Love your vids no matter what they are.
Fun stuff. Keep it up. Looking forward to the seap for sure!
aerosol can works great for turbo charged engines where taking off the intake tube negates all your boost. did that on my ecoboost f150 and it really cleaned it up.
I've use Marvels Mystery Oil added to the gas/ Diesel in my Jeep and F250 Super Duty, it works great. I've tried Seafoam as well.
Keeps up the good work man really like the vlogs would like to know we’re some good trails to go try
Nice video Ben, but the process of cleaning through the intake is more for direct injection vehicles. The 3.6 is still mpi where the fuel injectors spray upstream of the intake valves and keep them pretty clean. The whole catch can design is almost required for direct injection since the evaporated oil from the crankcase cokes to the intake valves and the fuel is injected downstream of the valves, not cleaning them. GM's DI engines are having a tough time with this.
Thanks for the video your contest is always fun and informative 👍🏻 ❤
Interesting stuff! I'll try it! That was another amazing TX sunset!
Loved the video. Amazing sunset. 😎
!st and foremost Thank You for your service! I think my 2008 JK could benefit from some seafoam. It's got 143800 miles on it and i don't think the previous owners ever took care of it or regular maintenance. Love your videos
My JK could use this. I used to Seaford my old hoopty hotrod back in the day. Becky's JK has hit 100k so, you know she needs it. She is making me put a catch can in hers when I get back🙄. Thanks, Ben.
Alaska plates always look great on a Jeep. I bought my JK when I was stationed up there and had a blast.
I lied I’m back I can’t stop watching your videos lol send me the seafoam 🙌🏼
Amazon clips my dude. Wish I got all that wisdom you have for the jeeps greetins from Alamo. TX
I just did this service on my Jeep zj 4.0l. I had the same results. 👌
Awesome video!! I’d like to try the sea foam in my JKU!!!
Just checked my can this morning. First time since installing last week. Wow! It caught a lot! No more than 1/8 an ounce but sure beats spraying that into intake. Thanks again. Can't wait to try the seafoam. Ben, I have been having issue with my 15 jk jeep. My seat belt latch/sensor is malfunctioning. It keeps beeping and flashing on dash. Have you had any problems with your jk?
Thank you, you helpin me alot with this videos
Great video man. Solid instructions and real results. Give the can of sea foam away to a good home. 🤙🏼 NOW must know about said hemi swap 🤔😎
Great tip videos men !!!! Hi from Monterrey Mx
I enjoyed this one. You're always funny! Keep up the good work. I'll take a can of seafoam.
Do an oil change with Royal Purple. Apparently it’s got some detergents in it that will clean a lot of build up in the lubricated side of the engine. There are a couple of videos showing before and after. That being said, I only run it one cycle out of the year, MOBIL1 is still my go to. Anyways food for thought, another great video!
My 97 TJ probably needs a can of seafoam ran through it. Original 4.0 that's had a hard life. Never knew the process until now! Thanks.
Great video to engine maintenance.
Thanks for the upload! Can you use seafoam on diesels?
Cheers!
Timely video - just this week I was going to ask you what kind of seafoam to use and where to use it! Going to get some today ... but still enter me in the giveaway 😂
Definitely going to do this soon!
Thank you for this video!! But I’m a little surprised, I sucked seafoam in to my ‘14 Jeep Wrangler with 155,000 miles just as you did, and waited 20 minutes, started it up and I had absolutely no smoke! I sucked in about 5 ounces. I also put about 5 ounces in my oil and 6 ounces in my fuel tank. I’m not sure if I did something wrong! 🤔🧐 It does however, seem to be more responsive and running better. I have a half can left, so maybe I’ll try it again!
I had a good follow up question on those falcon shock 3.3 piggyback
How are they? Ride wise and Performance wise, I’ve been looking to upgrade either flacon 3.3 or fox2.0
Thanks in advance on getting back to me on this
Matt
great informative video
I would like to know more about that viper manifold. Could you do a short video on it.
I want to Hemi swap my XJ, found the best way (I think) would be to get the Hemi, 5 speed and transfer case from a Dakota so equipped. Eliminates the need for the AX15 adaptor ($1500). Looking forward to the series. God bless, stay well.
Did they ever put a Hemi in a Dakota?
Nice, thanks for the video 😎👍
I need free foam from the sea!!! fun video to watch! take care
Met one of your old neighbors yesterday at rausch ha. Found out whag the channel nick name is lmao. We are waiting for yall to come back to Rausch!
I use the amsoil spray cleaner that you spray through your throttle body (which cleans the throttle body as well), it works great! I use it before every oil change.
Nice video! I have a 93 ZJ V8 with 169k miles. Do you think I should do it too? Not sure if it has a catalytic converter so I'm not too afraid of clogging that up 😅
Seafoam works amazing plus using 91 from chevron along with their complete fuel system and injecter cleaner has kept our jku engine clean
I just pour it in the gas and use sythentic oil. When I first got my 2000 xj I used sythentic oil and about 5-6 oil changes later it leaked everywhere. I use this stuff or gumout about 2-3 fill ups.
Love it. I want some. How many miles on the jk?
Love the rigs
Good stuff Ben, but you should actually give Berrymans B12 Chemtool Total Fuel System Cleaner a try. Seafoam works ok for marine applications but Berrymans is the ideal product for a spotless engine. Lots of smoke out the tailpipe doesn't really mean anything really fit clean.
I also seafoam during oil changes. Drain oil 100%, replug, pour in a bottle of seafoam, crank the engine a few times (15 sec don't want to damage rings.) Reopen the drain plug and watch more junk come out. Some people also do this old school way with diesel fuel.
Cool. I was wondering about sea foam the other day.
How many miles do u have on ur jk? I have 141k thinking about doing it
Can you do sea foam and fuel injector cleaner at the same time?
Typically I’ve been just doing fuel injector cleaner every oil change on my Jeep TJ with 117,000 miles.
Hey ben, do you know about torqs lockers? Or aussie lockers which are made in the usa and they are cheap lockers you can add, would like to see you talk about it or even install it 😅
I like that gladiator powerwheels sitting in the garage!
Try running their 1 gas only, that will help a lot in keeping deposits from forming as well.
A comparison of different catch cans would be cool. I know you have a cheaper Amazon one. On my JL, I installed a UPR can which costs a little more. But it collects A TON of oil in 3000 miles. I don’t think all cans are equal.
I will have to try this.
Seafoam was originally for 2stroke outboard motors..
It literally still says only for 2 stroke only on the can...
Ben, does it trip the check engine light or any other codes and if so does it turn off on its own?
Late to the party, but enjoyed the video. Guess I need to do that to the 16 JKU we just bought with 75k. Need Seafoam.
Great video! Should I add seafoam through the brake booster vacuum when I am add the areasol to the throttle body, or should these be done at different times? Do these 2 methods, in theory do the same thing? I am looking to run seafoam through my fuel tank and also one of these options you showed here. Any thoughts on adding directly to the crankcase/engine oil?
Would like to be entered in for a free can of seafoam!!
Free can of SeaFom. Interesting video
Could more smoke be related to aerosol as opposed to the liquid ? Seafoam is a good product. Thanks
If you have a cold air intake on a JK could you just spray it into the end of the piping or the filter instead of the throttle body?
Great video. Need to do this to my JK with that nice free can. Lol
hey man what viper throttle body are you running and were did you find it? i have a 2011 with the 3.8 any help is greatly appreciated .
I want to be entered in a can of seafoam!! Excited for what Jeep is going to unveil tomorrow ! New vehicle being announced
Ever have any problems with the seafoam setting off engine codes. I have a 4.o LJ.
Using the vacum line from the brake booster bypasses the Throttle Body.....Using the aerosol on the Throttle Body helps clean it and maybe more of the Intake manifold.
I would like a can of SEAFOAM for my 2016 JKU with a catch can just now at 15,000 miles....
Good video
Another good tip is to not run any ethanol blended fuel. Up here in Canada the low and mid grades both have 10 and 5% ethanol I believe but the premium is ethanol free. You end up getting better gas mileage and better throttle response.
Ben and Cassie,
Thanks for the great DIY content. I would like to be entered in the drawing for a can of Seafoam. Thank you
I Believe 100% in this stuff.. I put it in all my vehicles and my chainsaws keeps them clean... every oil change 3000 miles I put a can in the fuel tank..
I have 153,000 miles on my jeep(2011 jku) . think it would be good idea to pour seafoam into the gas tank, that way it slowly cleans it, instead of through the intake?
Here is an idea, since your pulling the 4.0 out of the lj, get a bore scope down in the intake before and then after sea foam
I don't know if it's just me or not but when doing this I also think I seen an increase in break response maybe because the vacuum is better to the booster?
Typically if you keep the oil and oil filter changed frequently and change the air filter frequently the inside of a motor should run pretty clean.
I've seen 100k mile vehicles opened up and everything looked clean but then again that's changing oil and filter every 4k miles.
That's a little to often for some folks but it works very well.
Think I’ll give it a try
stop apologizing! :) this is great info and demo!!!!!
