Diesel in the oil will do the same. Also full synthetics have more stabilizers/ conditioners that keep deposits suspended in the oil, so the oil will carry them out when changed.
I'm not knocking Seafoam as I have some in my engine now. If the original oil was black when you changed it the new oil would have gone black almost immediately without the Seafoam. The engine would have lots of black sludge in it turning the new oil black straight away after first starting it up. You need to flush the engine with cheap oil until it comes out clean then add the good oil and Seafoam. When I do mine I put half of a 4 litre (approx. 4 quarts) bottle of oil in then run the engine for about 10 minutes with the occasional throttle blip. Drain, put the other half in and repeat. Change the filter and then add the good oil. Then if you want then add the Seafoam. Hope this helps.
LOL. Whoever came up with the idea of NOT replacing the filter while doing an oil change was a real genius. And Max, remember to replace the oil too ;) jk
Ok..Just FYI..Seafoam in the oil/ crankcase cleans the metal...But the rubber seals can be harmed..And those seals could be causing oil burning..Valve seals?...Hot Oil Changes/ Burning touch with proper gloves/ Extra oil filter changes...
Yeah after the engine rebuild, after 500 mi I did an oil change and the oil was completely black. Now after another 500 mi it's still pretty golden colored. I think it took about a thousand miles for the rings to finally seat pretty good. I still burn a little bit of oil on deceleration, but I don't burn oil anymore while accelerating.
The engine has been fully taken apart. The only thing that was wrong with it was the bores were glazed and the rings were just too weak compared to other aftermarket versions.
Okay I will think about that. I recently rebuilt the whole engine with new pistons and rods. The engine was in bad condition, bores where in bad condition. I think most of this dark oil was from blowby.
@@maxsinventions8913 I had a 22RE that was new did about the same thing. I found out it had week rings from the rebuild kit I redid it with a good set of Hastings rings problem solved. It had bad blowby pcv valve keep blowing out....
Lucas is not good for an engine unless its on its last legs and youre looking to squeeze out a few more miles. Its mostly snake oil and marketing. Changes viscosity and is very very thick. No way in hell id use it on a car I plan to keep for awhile. Synthetic oil works fine with occasional Marvel or Sea Foam as shown.
@@aidankirby8412 I said a SMALL amount not a quart. If your using oil it works great snake oil or not been using it for years and have had great results don't be hatin tell you try it if you run it out of oil you won't need anything but a new car....

Here's hoping you don't use that impact driver to put the oil drain plug back on 😂
Lol no just to take it off!
Be sure to replace the oil filter as well.

Yeah the engine was completely screwed so I rebuilt it
After that I would also do some flushes with junky but new oil till it comes out clear.
Give it another seafoam treatment
After I cleaned out an old 460 my burning got worse till the ring’s reseated,then it was a slow improvement to get to 1 quart at a 3k mile oci.

God, thank you for seafoam.
wow!!
Replace the valve stem seals.

@@maxsinventions8913 Taken apart after the SeaFoam treatment in this video? Honed the cylinders, and replaced the rings, and everything is good?
Once you get it clean add a SMALL amount of Lucas engine oil stabilizer and the oil mileage will improve drastically....

Lucas is snake oil. It's just high viscosity oil 😂. Go up to 40 weight for free.
