On the forum for the wifes car Audiworld they are alway real particular about additives but they seem to swear by this one.

I realize that the stuff claims to do so many things to all engines and their components that it can't be true but, it works!:thumb:
I panic when I get down to two cans on my shelf. I used it on my '97 ZR2 and my wife's old explorer and it really helped both of them! Smoothed them out, removed any hesitation that they had and when added to the oil, really cleaned out old build up. Probably not needed if using synthetic oils.
I have not started using it with my CC (under 7K) but have on wife's cavalier.
Worked wonders on my lawn mowers and weedeater.
I probably would not have beleieved it or tried it if, a good friend of mine had not suggested it.
For the cleaning of the intake valves and pistons, I just pulled my brake booster vacum line and slowly poured pored 1/2 pint in the booster line and put the rest in with a full tank. Do it outside when you have a breeze or else that cloud of smoke created will a problem near a street with loss of visibility for traffic.
I recommend it and if there are non believers out there, invest five bucks, try it and if it doesn't help, then you can knock the product.

I've been using it too. You could probably just quote Reed's post above. that sum's it up for me.
It can really help out a high mile vehicle that is all carboned up.
I too have not been adding it to the crew. I've just been adding some inexpensive Valvoline Synthetic injector cleaner every third oil change. You could probably use the Seafoam for this maintainance dose as well.
I have been using the Seafoam TransTune for transmission services. It really seems to be a pretty good varnish breaker. I add it to a warm transmission , drive it through all the gears, about 15 minutes run time. Then change the filter and exchange the fluid. I have not lost a transmission since I started this program four years ago.
I would give the Seafoam a

Thought that a "bump" would be helpful since we have grown over a hundred members since I joined in May of 2004

Since I've seen this many times but never understood it, just what exactly is a "Bump"?

Oh. Duh! Well, between this and the heated mirror / rear window defroster discussion, now I really feel like an idiot.
I'll crawl back under my rock and hide now.

So I just did the Seafoam treatment to my Tahoes intake , my neighbors almost called the fire department when they saw the huge cloud of black smoke pouring out the exhaust.
. I ran Deep Creep into the throttle body as well. I had added SeaFoam to the oil yesterday morning and drove it to work and back, when I changed the oil it looked like tar. Took it for a test drive and seems to run really smooth and the cloud of smoke mostly went away after 5 miles or so.
I just pulled the PCV valve and let that suck up the treatment out of a container.
