chrispiss Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 hey guys before my last oil change I flushed the engine with gum out (?) engine flush, then drained and put in the usual quaker state synthetic. oh man what a difference it made. it idles so much smoother now, and when I first start the car, it's a nice smooth tick tick tick vroom, instead of tick CLUNK VROOOOOOM. I dunno that's the best way to describe it. anyway I highly recommend it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toysrme Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 This is why I tell people to drop the correct amount of seafoam into the crankcase (oil) with a fresh oil change. You should see the changes such simple cleaners can make on small engines (lawnmower etc). They get so gummed up they simply won't run. Turn them over and let them sit for an hour... bam - good as new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only say this is that if the engine is bad the engine clean sometimes lossens up pieces and plugs up passages. I do not recommand it for this reasons. I would also drain this oil sooner then normal also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted July 4, 2005 Share Posted July 4, 2005 BTW seafoam is only available at NAPA stores no where else. I love engine cleaners though. But i use them differently as i add ti with old oil then drain after running arround the block then drain with cheap oil for 2 days then drain and fill with a good synthetic as i do not want any cleaner hanging around in my engine too long.
