I drink a full can every night while eating dinner before I go to bed. It helps me sleep really well.
“For routine crankcase cleaning, add Sea Foam to your engine's oil (into the oil filler neck) 100 to 300 drive miles before a scheduled oil and filter change.” Seafoam
How much in the oil filler? I’m due for an oil change. My 2008 Lexus is350 burns oil (it’s common on those cars), this couldn’t hurt to try, right? I bought the car used and it has 167k now.
Will it be too much oil after dumping it in crankcase?
@@greer8288 The bottle I use is only 473ml. Used on engines from 1L to 5.4L and never had an issue.
@@greer8288 i noticed my diesel would idle weird with to much sea foam in it( fine in revs)
@@texastrav666 probably won't work
I've been using this stuff for years. It does work. It does help. I use it in my cars, my boat, lawn mowers, generator......It cleans the gunk out.
do you use both the can in tank and the spray he used in the video?
Yes I do!
HM but where does the gunk go?
It goes out the exhaust. My two stroke 200hp Yamaha really spews out some black tar like stuff. My dual exhaust Mustang left two black marks on my driveway .
How much of the can due you put on the gas tank
Lol I love how you did this in a church parking lot. I knew of these ways before hand. The third way is by far the most effective! Nicely done.
I've put Seafoam through a small 6ft rubber hose attached to a vacuum hose connected to the intake manifold. That way, I can pour it and rev the engine. All from the convenience of my driver's seat. 👌👍
Thare is a big difference between the 2 you should not put the regular see foam in your intake it's not oily enough it's bad on seals and gaskets it's made to be diluted and go through the fuel system
@@garysonbuhs9641 That's some valuable information. I'll start just using the intake spray version of Seafoam.
@@Isa1ahL33 the can is concentrated and less oily
4th way to use Sea Foam:
Pop out the upstream O2 sensors and pour a half a can in each bank. Was told I needed new cats in my M Roadster. This got rid of the codes. Serious smokeout, way more than the M3 in this video. Bore scope before and after was amazing.
I need to do that
I've thought about doing this but haven't heard of anyone who had first hand experience. Glad to hear it helped.
Thank you sooooo much for going into details and demonstrations on how to use this product. I purchased a can recently because of hearing of the benefits it gives to the car's performance but was hesitant and clueless on the procedure of use. Now I can proceed. Thanks again!
Thanks! The ONLY video I found that shows how to pour it in properly.
Honestly, I have used Seafoam three times 200 miles before an oil change. This last time I did an oil change, I did not use Seafoam. Instead, I bought an engine flush solution from an auto parts store. I had never done it before, so I simply just followed the directions on the bottle (dump the whole bottle in the crankcase and run the engine for 10 minutes, then change the oil). When I changed the oil, I noticed just how much grit and carbon and other junk was in the oil (not present after using the Seafoam). I love Seafoam as a fuel system and intake cleaner, but I would definitely say that an engine flush is WAY more effective than just using seafoam (and it is also about half the price of a bottle of Seafoam).
What was the solution that you used don't mind me asking?
@@ricardoscale1285 I used Motor Medic Motor Flush from O'Reilly Auto Parts.
@@DustinShreve oh ok I am going to have to check that one out. I got a 2015 lincoln Navigator L so I am going all out on this puppy. Want to keep it until the wheels fall off
The problem with doing that is, that there are many small oil passageways in an automotive engine, some of them less than 1/8th of an inch in diameter.
If you suddenly release all the gunk that has accumulated in your motor these passageways can get clogged and even cause catastrophic engine failure.
@@scottw550 I thought it dissolved the gunk though?
Ways to use it that you might not know, such as THE DIRECTIONS ALREADY ON THE CAN.
ryfel99 who the hell reads all the directions? Lol
😂😂
So..... I can make videos of me reading the directions on products and get 200k views?
Hrm.....
😂😂🤣
Lol
Seafoam works. I have been using it in my vintage Japanese motorcycles for decades. It is also a much better fuel stabilizer than Stabil.
This is THE Guide that should be at the top of the results. Thank you so much! The most useful Seafoam video that I've watched
First of all, beautiful car you got there.. very informative video thanks for this I'm about to do this 3 can method on my RAM 1500 hemi.. nice job
Did you do it? How did it work out
@@Mdonne42 same question, I have a 318 hemi in my Dodge Ram Laramie Magnum SLT and I am going to do it as soon as the rain stops, I noticed the OP didn't reply with the results so I will be sure to log back in and let you know if it helped.
I've done on my 04 ram hemi. They sell throttle body cleaner and a spray can already though
Great video. Detailed Information on point
I have a 325i 2005 sport been using seafoam the 3yrs. It works i actually don't use the whole can lol but it works💯
Great Video Man! Keep them coming!
+naukjis thanks for the support man!
Beautiful mountains in the background... wow! (I'm stuck in the city lol)
I'm convinced you made this video to show how cool your low mileage M3 is. Im in love. Using Dinan upgrades is a mega plus! Thanks for sharing.
I have a fully loaded '06 G35 Coupe that I've owned since '08, with 75K (Due to work, sadly, I put 20K on it last year, hence 75K) - we're all winners when we get the right car!
@@RetroMMA I'm glad you really like your car but it's nothing really special to anyone else you can pick one up for like 3-5k, an m3 is in a different league.
@@AndrewB23 The fact that an M3 cost so much more and that they're notoriously unreliable, factor in the year and that the M3 would lose in a straight up race (perhaps even end up in limp mode), nah, that's all you buddy...
Unfortunately with your American spec M3 I'd agree. Our European cars are much more powerful. With rolls Royce Vanos and individual throttle bodies
@@RetroMMA You should see the prices of the G35's in mint condition now! I sold a g35s Sedan vq35hr. And the guy basically dumped 15k in it right away. New paint front end te wheels rubbers etc etc! Crazy
Flawless video. Very clear and informative.
Just bought a 96 e36 328i , this channel is awesome
Can we please just talk about how beautiful the closing scene is with the sunset, halo headlights, and that Mountain View. 👌🏼
it would be perfect with a decent car
@@anonymus277 Beg to differ...with a decent car you'd have a distraction from the sunset!
@@Adam-lq5kg True
I had a little engine knock when accelerating and letting off the pedal I dumped an entire can into the booster vac line, waited about thirty minutes got it running and tried to sit and let it burn off in the Apt parking lot; was afraid of drawing attention, so I did the the only OBSCURE thing I could think of. I drove around for awhile looking like the local mosquito murderer. No one really noticed...😝🤪
We recommend the fun method to nearly everyone who ALMOSTS passes their smog. But we recommend half can into a vacuum hose. Let it sit. Smoke out the neighborhood. Then do a second smoke out later
For those that have higher mileage cars you really need to be careful when adding Seafoam to your oil. I added some to the oil in my 04 Rover and now it constantly smokes and I have a cylinder 1 misfire that will not go away. Seafoam works, just be careful.
Change plug or coilpsck
Of course, yes you have a Beautiful car. But let's talk about that engine bay. Wow.
The key to keeping the engine as clean as possible after a full seafoaming like this one is to change the oil afterwards. If you’re trying to de-carbon and de sludge and de-lacquer your engine, all that garbage ends up in the oil and filter. A full change and you’re good.
Do I have to drive it for a certain amount of miles or can I change the oil that same day?
That question is answered in the video when I am talking about adding it into the crankcase.
moises martinez change it after the intake cleaning procedure, which should be done towards the end of the fuel and crankcase regimens.
Hey!!!! I have a direct injection Audi A4, soon it will need a carbon buildup cleaning, would this delay/ remove the need for that?
Loving all that great Utah footage
Great video. And you picked a great place to shoot the video. That backdrop is amazing.
If I use seaform..will it turn my car into an M3?
Absolutely
Lol to funny 😅
nope, into a Batmobile.
Into a 5.7 liter Hemi
Wow that's terrible! 😂
What code reader do U recommend for a 2011 BMW 335is that gives the most bang for the price? I also own a VW Passat but the bmw is always the one with issue vs the VW 🤷🏼♂️
dude had to sub cuz i love how easy u explain in detail the right way to do it right on
I just did the Spray SeaFoam! It was Awesome!!! 🤣 Hahahaha...
All that Smoke!! People driving by were tripping!! 🤣
I have been using this for years in the exact same way you described and it works. Especially through the vacuum hose!
Perfect right straight to the 3 points! Thank you
Just another great informative video.. 🖒
Thanks!
I'm not a big fan of BMW's but I got to say for a 99 that is a good looking car. Nice video
Thanks man!
Sir, you almost lost control at the end there. Nice recovery!
Thanks for the knowledge.
Is MMO to be used like how you would the sea foam or would you do it as instructed by them during your oil change and replacing 20% of your oil with it?
This car sounds amazing.
Beautiful M3!
+Antonio Rice thanks man!
Awesome info, thank you
can i buy 2 cans for the crank case and fuel tank? Half of the can on the oil & once i’m done doing the oil change, do i put in another full can on my fuel tank?
You haven't lived until you have hooked up a can of the pour version to a vacuum intake and smoke out a parking lot. In the older vehicles we used to pull the PCV valve hose and let it pull from there. Fun times!
dealerships still do there induction cleaner this way.
I realy dont recommend poring it in the intake expeshioly with old cars and if you put it in a carb its gona need a rebuild sooner than it would normally
@therockkkkher sure did. These days though I use Lucas Fuel treatment in the tank. Takes longer, but is safer for modern vehicles.
2:45 Got you a like and subscription from me. Great suggestion and explanation: *"If you want it to be most effective, when you add it to your tank make sure to drive your tank until it's almost empty because if you fill it up when it's about half way or something, you'll dilute the solution and it won't work as good"*
Someone told me the opposite. Now I need more input. 😩
@@chicagoforniahelladope
Let tank get under 1/2 full.
Go to gas station.
Pour in the fuel additive with the right quantity for a full tank.
Fill the tank.
Drive.
The incoming stream of fuel mixes the additive into the whole tank very thoroughly.
@@lazygardens should I wait till my car is on the last bar and put it in and let it run for a bit then put gas? I don’t want the car to die lol
@@fullsendalberto4838 You could carry the can of Seafoam with you and dump it in when the tank is 1/4 or less full, then drive a bit longer.
You're actually supposed to add it to a mostly empty tank, and then fill up with gas, per the directions. It doesn't really hurt to have more seafoam, but its meant more to slowly clean the Fuel system than all at once.
I like to get 2 cans, suck a bit of one through a vacuum like, dump some into the oil, and add the rest of the can (usually less than half) into a gas tank that's about 1/4 to 1/2 full, run until I'm getting low, usually 100-200 miles, then change the oil. I'll then go to the gas station, dump a full can into the tank and fill it up.
I run full synthetic oil and prefer to change it every 5k miles, but sometimes I let it go towards the 10k mile mark, and I like to give it the full seafoam treatment every 15-20k miles, as well as adding a can once a month to the gas tank. I've had had and sold cars that were still running good at 150k-300k miles. Might be other problems with them, but at least the engine and fuel system were in good shape.
It is possible, if the engine wasn't taken care of, that the seafoam in the oil can remove some buildup and reveal a small leak.
I have a 06 F150 5.4lt and put 1/3 can in gas tank...oil pan...and 1/3 in brake booster vac line. Let truck sit 20 min or so then started it up and nvr got much smoke at all. I always use 91 gas since new so is this a sign the engine is fairly clean as I've seen on here most ppl there truck smokes like crazy? Is mine normal is something wrong?
Great bro, have to try it out!
i gave you a thumbs up for doing the donuts in the church parking lot
Nice engine bay ..farst direct content .minimum use of
"montage fill" ..
0 wank factor .respect my man
Seafoam is old school - use the gumout or similar stuff with PEA (polyetheramine) - it is WAY MORE effective from my humble experience - then use the techroline gas additive Religiously for the next 5,000 miles from Chevron or Texaco.......... good stuff : P. you'll be glad you did.......you can get a case of each = 6 and 6 from Amazon for $100..........sweet.
So using the spray in the vacuum line wouldn’t clean the fuel injectors though right? Just the intake components and combustion chambers. I’m trying to fix a lean fuel trim code am looking at using this.
SWEET!
Marvel Mystery Oil in Tank & Crank - Sea Foam Spray for GDI.
Jesse Crawford that’s definitely the way to go. I do it like that 2 times a year on my e30 and the engine remains clean w great performance.
Also called "The Italian Tuneup" Ki30. haha
I've got an '83 s-10 with the 2.8L V6 and it's got the air filter right on top of the carburetor. It's got several vacuum lines but I'm not sure which one to use. I dont have power brakes
I just add this on my 330ci today but it didn't blowed any white smoke , my fuel tank was almost empty I only used half of the bottle cause I only filled half of my fuel tank , should I put the other have in the crankcase oil ?
Doing doughnuts in the parking lot of a Mormon church?!? LOL🤣😂🤪
Brett Bentley isn’t that what they’re for? Lol in Utah there’s multiple in every neighborhood so everyone goes there to have fun I live behind a church and hear tires squealing almost every night. I live by a high school too so I’ve also seen a few kids take out trees, break front ends by slamming into curbs and unfortunately one fatal bullet bike accident.
Really cool m3, I was more interested in the car, forget about that seafoam stuff. 👍
LIQUIMOLY also very popular for this. I admire that clean engine compartment. You have to video that cleaning process! Let's emphasize: change your oil after 175-200 miles of putting Seafoam in your crankcase! So time that a little before your next oil change which is critical on a timely basis.
That's funny you're in Utah! My wife and I are from there, I grew up in Orem, she was in West Valley! Cool to see youtubers from utah! Keep it up!
It looks great the way you keep your engine room so clean. most people don't. Nice!
Most people work full time with familys and arent rich, spoiled brats like this guy.
@oldschool dude: I work full time and a second job. I also have a family and am not a spoiled brat, but thanks for assuming and making yourself look like an ass.
@@TreatsOnTheStreets Whatever helps you sleep at night bud
Lol more like whatever helps you sleep at night. Every penny spent on this car came from my own pocket. I just spend my free time busting my ass instead of eating potato chips watching TV on the couch making myself a poor little victim.
@@TreatsOnTheStreets You dont "bust your ass", get a mint vehicle like that then do burnouts like a teenager. You set that extra money back for your family. You have funds backing you from someone. I've walked this earth a bit longer than you.
I recognize those mountains...
I just did this on my truck which is @ 254k miles.... It created a MASSIVE cloud. Super fun in a Walmart Parking lot.
I do the spray a bit different but I was pleased with the result.

+Winston Piddington lol. I'm going to try and swap the trans over winter, but like fato said... one project at a time haha. Thanks for watching!
+fato putso haha that's right. If only I was a full time CZcamsr and could do this stuff all day every day!
Thank you for replying. I am a rare Euro S50B30 M3 owner that is just about to fit a 420G 6 spd to a Euro 3.0 - thus the interest!. I hear I will need a different drive shaft? Interested in the Carbon ones you can get now? rgds W.
+Winston Piddington yeah you need some other parts. I actually made a video a while back about all the stuff you'll need for the swap. Check it out!
Man hes tall. Does he sit in the back seat to drive like hitower?
nicely done I recently bought a car that has over 200,000 miles plus on it I used can in my fuel tank I definitely seen the results in performance and gas mileage what I did wait till my gas was almost empty put some fresh gas in little bit of seafoam drover for a while and then did it again s*** work great but I definitely wouldn't put it in my oil and I did hear turbo engines it's no good but I'm no expert I definitely do some more research for which I think sucks because they're more acceptable for heat damaged that's why they stop giving him to the cops I'm definitely going to use the spray for the upper manifold and burn off some that carbon which I know needs it and I'm pretty confident it won't blast off massive chunks of carbon in destroy my engine but I think that's all I'll do is he upper manifold with the spray and then just use the stuff in the gas tank cuz I already had good results with that oh my God.
I’m an e30 guy, but every time I see your vids I want an e36. Sadly prices had sky rocketed on these like in no time and I hate car notes (lien holders).Yours it’s freaking gorgeous.
Thanks man! I definitely like e30's too. It is pretty crazy how fast the values have been climbing... Thanks for watching man!
Treats On The Streets sure man keep up the good content.
I love the E36! Love from the Z3
Very clean M3. Low miles too. Love Utah. I have 2 of these 4sale if any1 is in chicagoland👍
JN you got a couple for sale ?
The exposing Penguin ,, yes I do. 1 metallic Black & a Purple. Not as good clean as yours though . Even if you have issues at least yours is real clean
JN are your m3s posted on craigslist?
Do you this have these? I am in chicago
Your M3 is stunning dude.
Nice video! 👍🏿👍🏿
Thanks!
Great video, will definitely do this to my Clio 3 Rs this weekend. Love your bmw very nice piece of german spec😎🤙
Thanks man! Good luck with your Clio 👍
Dumping seafoam into oil could free up sludge that could block the oil pick up line
Good or bad?
So... you basically reiterated exactly what the bottle says it can be used in lmao
+FuedOfJustice - Seriously! As I'm going to start making how-to-videos with everything I know how to do. For example, how to use a keyboard; how to make biscuits and gravy, and how to apply cocoa butter on your skin. ^o^

Some people have a hard time following instructions. I, for one, do much better watching someone do something rather than reading instructions.
nice MMM and
thanks for the vid
Using a quart of auto trans. fluid for about a thousand miles cleans great. Used on 64 Chev Truck and top was very clean . So I kept using for 8 years .
Such a sweet M3
+Brad Nerdy Nay thanks man!
You're welcome
I had a NASTY lifter tick in my 1999 E36 M3 and I poured the 1/3 can of Seafoam into my oil, and it went away almost immediately! After a few hours of idling and then an oil change to get the seafoam out, I drove the crap out of it with no further issues for thousands of more miles. Eventually sold the car but as far as I know it still has no issues.
Nice man that's a cool story to hear.
actually you have NO IDEA whether it even still runs
I want to clean my engine on my ford truck...how long do I let the engine running without drive it with the sea foam in the oil...what do you recommend... thank you .. ezequiel
grt video...gd job
Seafoam was made for 2 stroke outboard boat engines... I recommend LIQUIMOLY engine treatment. Just my
.o2
Your 2 cents is likely worth much more, BigP.
Key word "was" it "was" recommend to change your oil every 3k miles but oil have changed over time so not all cars recommend that for conventual motor oil.
I usually get the liquid. I get 2 cans. I pour one whole can in the fuel tank and I use half a can in the crank case and pour the other half to a vacuum line and let it heat soak for 15 minutes. It's great to use once a year or 2 between oil changes.
Thats the same method i use to clean my air intake on my mustang With the spray how much due i put on there
Great video..... Very well explained.
+Keneti Pese thanks 👍
Hey I recognize those mountains! Ben Lomond Peak!! O-Town
Haha that's right! From the O G Den!
Nice man I'm in the Terrace
You can also use seafoam to clean your catalytic converter by taking out #1 O2 sensor and spraying in the orifice 👍
Seaform clean catalytic converter remove #1 02 senser spray orifice
How much to spray an when motor hot ?
You can also replace your cat with an open pipe so it won’t need cleaning😂
seafoam is also a great mouthwash
It cleans amazingly well and I mean amazingly. Bought a fors escape with 232000kms, put it in 500km before my oil change. Changes oil and man o man, that oil filter was heavy with sludge. It was only driven around the city by a senior.
Thanks for the vedio ...Is sea foam will clean the catalytic converter too?
Are you in Albuquerque?
Looks like the 505!
I'm in Utah 👍
Thought it was the sandia Mountains for a min also.
Very clean E36. Is thag an M3?

Thanks for the info!!🇺🇸👍🏻
And its compmetely safe. Cool. I was planning to take the head apart and cleaning it manually but hell if you can do it like this i dont have to.
Great video for easy instructions ... One thing you forgot to mention though in the first segment around adding it to your fuel tank - you should add it when your tank is close to empty (or even 1/2) to ensure the Seafoam properly mixes with the gas.
@2:43
Did you watch the video?

When you use Seafoam in your oil, you must avoid pressing the gas to the floor. It's an instruction they recommend
Juan Pablo Velásquez for how long?
How come
this dude. 😂youre supposed to drive 200-300 miles
How do you drive the car without pressing the gas pedal? You think I'm gonna let it do an auto crawl for 200 miles?
What is the amount of smoke coming out have to do with the carbon deposits it removed?
So can you put this in if u already put some injecter cleaner in it was the cheap sstuff stp
