SeaFoam treatment
 
Today my son-in-law told me about a product (new to me) called SeaFoam treatment (l always used chemtool B-12) to add to the gas, crankcase, etc. Anybody ever use it? Comments,opinions.....

it's a scam just like chemtool b-12, our cars won't work with that, they are designed to drive fine on their own.

Lots of folks have used Seafoam. I wouldn't call it a "scam". I have not used in the Mustang because its new but I've used it in my 100K mile Suburban. The fuel injectors in that engine are notorious for getting dirty and clogged up. Seafoam cleans it out.

Ive heard of alot of ppl using seafoam with great results. It cleans out all the deposits and what not from your car.

Good God it's not a friggin scam. Not sure what "won't work with that" is supposed to mean. I use it prior to every oil change in my 05GT and my 01 Escape (with 120K on the clock). My 05GT runs great and I've been using it for well over a year. The Escape greatly benefitted the first time it was used, so I use it now as preventive maintenance (keeping the tops of the pistons & valves clear of build up).

I just bought a bottle the other day to try in my SUV. I've heard good things about it, especially from people that have used it on their outboard engines. I'm not sure I'd use it in the Stang until I heard more input.

I used it my 85 Shelby Charger last summer after it sat on blocks for 12 years. Put fresh gas, plugs and oil and went and got an inspection stcker. The car ran strong til fuel pump crapped out. So I went and bought my 07 GT vert.

Modern cars have multiple effective precautions designed against engine system buildup unlike cars of previous generations, you don't need chemtool-b12 on a mustang lol it costs $15 a bottle.

"The Escape greatly benefitted the first time it was used, so I use it now as preventive maintenance (keeping the tops of the pistons & valves clear of build up)" this I agree with, but the OP is talking about his relatively new Mustang , who's build up precautions work fine. You don't need something that costs $15 every time you change your oil, as a magic pill for you car. Companies that sell things like that make tons of money for something that you don't need. This is one of the better ones in that lot of engine additives because it DOES work on older/high mielage cars, but don't think that your car now can benefit from it because that's silly and in the end it's just like any additive you can buy, this stuff wastes your money.

It's your bill MTAS...
