Seafoam in oil

[Phil Owen]

Has anyone ever tried adding Seafoam to the oil?  If so how much did you use?

[fudgie]

I think that is for more of putting it in right before you change the oil. Thins it out to aid in cleaning and draining. Kerosene works to I hear.

The can says it can be used in the lube oi, but, my question is, why would anyone wish to do so??  It works well as a fuel system cleaner and stabilizer, but, just my opinion, I wouldn't use it in the oil..

The only way I could see using Sea Foam in engine oil is if the engine was very dirty and it should be put in only for a 50 mile ride or so.

I think that sea foam is great in the gas, but I'm not sure I would put it in my oil. It might work on car engines, but on a bike they have a wet clutch, not sure....

I do not recommend this but if you feel it is necessary.

Then not more than 1 to 1.5 ounces of Seafoam per quart of oil.

DO NOT run the engine under heavy load or high RPMs nor longer than necessary,

As you have thinned your oil with an agent that may also foam and may limit your oil pumps ability to pump effectively.

Change the oil and filter SOON after.

I have been using Marvel Mystery Oil for years in all of my vehicles.  In the gas and oil.  Works for me.

Used Marvel Mystery oil in my Honda Civic after Amzoil messed up the manual shifter. Used it in my Gas and Oil.

I guess I'll nix that idea!  Thanks for the info.
