Bruce Nunnally Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Their advertising must be very effective. GM does not recommend any fuel, oil, transmission, or coolant additives other than those listed in your owner's manual.

FlamingGoatBalls Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 If it doesnt work for the car you can always use it on your face to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev2 Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 you should not need it....Is there a problem you are trying to address? Seafoam is an effective product*, used often as first step to clear up poppets in GM's CPFI, GM also has several cleaners available in their parts Dept. to address specific problems.

Spurlee Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I've used Seafoam through the intake once a year on my 1996 El Dorado (137,00 mi), my 1993 Chevy Truck (160,000 miles), my 2000 Corvette (60,000 mi) my 1991 Motorcycle, and my 1991 boat with a 350 CID GM short block - all with no ill effects. These are all older high milage/hour engnes and seem to benefit from the treatment. I would not use it on a 2-cycle engine at all (it will wash out the bearings immediately) and have never put it in the crankcase for the same reasons.

daniel812 Posted March 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 I used it both in the fuel tank as well as sucked through a vacuum line and have not had any problems in my 98 SLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
