Thanks,
with less than 5000 miles, I would just do the gas tank side of it. the full top end and oil portion isnt really necessary on lower mileage cars. unless they are 15 years old and only have 8k on the odo or something with only 3 oil changes in its entire life.

yeah, I personally wouldnt bother with it in a new camaro until probably 20k. and as far as noticing the difference.... the last link in the OP shows my 94Z with 150k on the odo right after firing it up after doing the whole seafoam treatment.

Foamed the outboard on Sunday. Holy crap what a mess that was! Blew oily, smokey mess all over my privacy fence. Many hours (and years) on this 150hp Johnson. It's a '94.

nice.


Dragoneye just did the whole process on his Cobalt. even after just the gas tank and oil change side, he could notice a difference in the "butt dyno"

definately perked his car up. IIRC, he said it had 30k on the odo.

you might be overcleaning... depending on how many miles you go between changes.

but one other good property about seafoam is its moisture removing capability
