Seafoam was first marketed in the late 40's for cleaning out improperly stored or poorly maintained marine engines that often ran cold for hours on end (that's the "sea" part)--so unless you engine has been never had the oil changed, or was stored in a boat house near the ocean all winter, there's no real reason to mistreat it now.
