Seafoam, Anyone use it? Options

[blu94gt]

So I've been thinking about running some Seafoam through my engine. A lot of guys in various clubs with me here have done the same and say it's amazing. My friend's Audi TT was having some valve chatter and such and he cleaned it with Seafoam and now it's PERFECT.

For those who don't know, Seafoam is an engine cleaner/carbon deposit remover. Supposed to put 1/3 in your gas tank, 1/3 in your oil, and 1/3 through a vacuum line like the brake booster then run the car for about 15 minutes (it'll smoke and everything a LOT) then change your oil and boom your done.

What I've heard though is on higher mileage engines it's bad to use something like this because the carbon deposits etc that it cleans out could be blocking leaks, and when they're gone you could spring some engine leaks.

Feedback anyone? I need stuff to do this week lol

seafoam is good stuff lol looked like my car was on fire when i started it . i used seafoam on my former celica and on my mpv and it did wonders on both cars. I put 1/3 in the gas tank, 1/3 in the oil reservoir, and 1/3 into the intake via a vacuum tube going to the throttle body. it actually improved the gas mileage in both my cars by a little and the car ran a bit smoother, but on the celica i did develop some oil leaks because it does remove carbon deposits in your engine that could be blocking a potential leak and i heard it thins out your oil alittle. I changed my oil couple miles after i ran seafoam so i wouldnt know.

yeah you're supposed to change your oil the minute you're done with it because it thins out your oil a lot

I have 135,000 miles and I'm just afraid I'll start leaking really bad haha
