Does Seafoam Actually Work in a Car? (with Proof)

  • In this video I test Seafoam in a Honda Civic Si. I use a mini borescope camera to look into the engine and see how dirty the engine is before the fuel treatment and then after the fuel treatment.
    I followed the instructions on the container and seafoam did a great job cleaning a good amount of carbon off the piston head. I am impressed by the results and finally we have proof that seafoam actually works!

    Just did the seafoam "3 way treatment" (in the gas, in the crankcase, and sprayed into the intake) to both my son's 2010 Equinox and to my 2010 Expedition. The difference was astounding - I was very impressed with the Seafoam and will use it again.

      putting Seafoam in the crankcase can lead to costly repairs, usually whatever it loosen has a habit of clogging oil passages, especially the ones that feed your main bearings.

      @Lu Ms it breaks it down and carries it through the exaust, if it does get stuck in the exhaust it doesnt matter since it wouldnt effect performance at all

    • @zenaxia8063
      @zenaxia8063 Год назад

      @Lu Ms most exhaust systems are pretty thick in diameter, so theres alot of space for air to travel through it regardless of carbon build up, carbon build up hurts the engine performance usually when its inside of the cylinder because it messes with the firing of the actual engine, it can get in the fuel injectors and even on the tips of the spark plugs. This is a very condensed space, and seafoam should get the carbon build up out of the cylinder through the headers and through the exhaust, sometimes it can get stuck somewhere in the process however, but generally it doesnt, and if it does, it will just move onto the long exhaust pipe in which it wouldnt end up losing as much performance as if it was actually hurting firing time or the other engine components, so to answer your question, yes, it can, but its not supposed to. To answer your second question, if you have more than one exhaust tip and its thicker than the bananna can fill, then yes it would decrease performance, but in most higher performance exhaust systems, it wouldnt effect performance much, and this example doesnt work here because carbon is incredibly small, it would not build up to the size of a bannana.

    Used this on my just purchased, 20 year old prelude (150K mi). Before using it, I had no oil leaks. I used it and it cleaned out a whoooole bunch of nastiness, but it cleaned it out so much, that several gaskets started to leak oil (I assume the built up oil was plugging the holes). It runs much better, now that I replaced a whole bunch of rubber in the engine. I'm glad I was able to find all the leaks and fix them, but be warned that if you're doing this on an older car, there's potential for new leaks. But the car definitely appreciated the cleaning and all new gaskets!

    Hey Chris I have a 2006 Kia Sedona. Check engine light has been on for over a month with a P0420 code which is the catalytic converter. I threw in 2 cans of Seafoam, 1 bottle of Chevron Techron and a bottle of Lucas oil all at once. Ran it for a tank about 350 miles. The light went off and has been off for 300 miles now.

    After watching all your videos on this subject it would appear that surviving combustion is the most important aspect of any of these cleaners for piston tops. For example seafoam is mostly pale oil that was used as an upper cylinder lube years ago. It allows the naptha, which is the primary detergent to survive long enough to clean the piston tops. So for your test it's the most likely to show visible results. Agree?

  • @googlesbitch
    @googlesbitch 3 года назад +32

    The carbon buildup on pistons usually isn't a issue for most car engines that have carbon buildup, it's the intake valve (inside intake and not combustion chamber side) and the piston rings that can not be fully seen unless removed. Also the throttle body and idle control valve are key area that are suspect to rough idle and even throttle response that can be easily cleaned by most.

    you should check for carbon in the intake manifold, throttle body and all those parts of the intake to the inlet valve. specially in diesel engines can build up there a whole lot of deposits which restricts air flow and also harms the turbo to spool up. i remove them as much as possible by hand, then i use a spray cleaner like you did and after this i burn free the DPF using OBD diagnostic tool. This will give the best results and noticeable more power (TDI engines). those deposits on top of the piston are not verry responsible for the engine.

  • @raycruz4499
    @raycruz4499 5 лет назад +3

    Hey Chris you're suppose to let it hot soak for at least 20-30 minutes before aggressive driving might get better results, when I did mine after 45 minutes of 70 mph driving I had lunch and jumped on the highway again and lo and behold I stopped traffic accelerating onto the highway with all the smoke I left behind that's almost 2 hours after I did the spraying.

    Hi Chris, this is what I do every 10K miles. I mix up a fuel system cleaner which is a gallon and a half of fluid. One quart of Acetone, M E K, Lacquer thinner, Zylol, 100 percent Isopropyl alcohol, and two cans of Berryman gas treatment.
    I mix this in a empty 2 gallon gas tank. I run my gas tank low and fill the tank with straight gasoline and the mix I described. In just one gas tank the engine gets cleaned well including the fuel system. Works for me fella. Give it a try, works really well. A old timer mechanic showed this to me years ago.

Also good for finding exhaust leaks around the engine lol.
    The Accord has 250,000 miles and runs great. It runs even better after flushing the fluids and doing this and the Seafoam fuel cleaner. The joy of buying used cars lol. I don’t think the dude changed the oil filter in quite a while.
