The SEA FOAM Chronicals

A collection of threads relating to Sea Foam and its' uses.  
More or less sorted by Sea Foam being the topic of discussion. 
Then followed by Sea Foam just be suggested as a possible help for a symptom.

This is just a start on a project on Sea Foam that I have been thinking about for quite some time.


EDIT:  2/12/2012
http://www.seafoamsales.com/how-to-use-our-products.html

A new product has been developed called "Bugs B Gone", fantastic stuff. Read up on it.
Also, take a look at their product called "Deep Creep".

I will add to this specific thread from time to time as the mood strikes me :D

Using Sea Foam in the crankcase.   It does work as they say it does.  It did for me, and there are a huge amount of testimonials from our forum members stating just that.

Now, on to the Sea Foam Show ;)


Sea Foam Motor Treatment is a Blended Petroleum Product, NOT A CHEMICAL and is widely used as an old oil residue reducer and moisture drier in any oil crankcase.
 
Sea Foam Motor Treatment is most commonly used as a pre service,  old oil residue re-liquefier / cleaner / diagnostic tool, and moisture drier, and is also used as an after service additive.  Sea Foam Motor Treatment does NOT add significantly to oil volume, so removing oil is NOT required for use, when used according to printed directions on the product container.  
 
1.         As a PRE SERVICE CLEANER for old oil residue, (sticky rings or valve train noise, diagnostics), pour 1 ½ ounces of Sea Foam Motor Treatment into the engine oil crankcase for EACH quart of crankcase oil capacity including filter. (Diesels use 1 pint Sea Foam to 4 gallons of oil, please.)  Drive a MINIMUM of 30 minutes/miles, MAXIMUM 200 miles, (Diesels 1 hour drive/run time MINIMUM) and then do your oil change service (LOF).  This is the process of safely/slowly re liquefying the old oil residue so contaminants may flow and be filtered.  This also makes your old oil dirtier, quickly, so a LOF service is necessary when the oil gets dirty. Great for Turbo & Supercharged applications where hot oils deteriorate so quickly due to heat, those residues NEED CLEANING. (LOF = Lube oil & Filter service = OIL CHANGE).
 
2.         As an AFTER SERVICE ADDITIVE into fresh oil, nearly fresh oil, or oil (used condition) that is NOT ready to be changed (by mileage), put 1 ½ ounces Sea Foam Motor Treatment into the crankcase per quart of capacity as described above, then SELF SET a program to MONITOR your oil for proper level, color and clarity on a mileage, timed, or event basis (like every time you add fuel, etc.) to determine when an oil service is necessary. (LOF)  When the oil gets dirty, CHANGE IT!
 
Sea Foam Motor Treatment will safely and slowly re liquefy old oil residue, This will usually make your oil need changing BEFORE your normal scheduled LOF service. Only your monitoring of the oil for color and clarity can tell when it is time to do LOF (oil change service), or 3,000 miles, whichever comes first.
 
Synthetic oils, both blends and 100%, were engineered and are manufactured to be 100% compatible with petroleum based oils, all brands, and vice/versa.  Without compatibility, oil manufacturers and engineers would be liable for the results of mixing non-compatible lubricants.
 
Check your oil; monitor its level, color & clarity to determine the need for an LOF service!                              Change your oil when it gets dirty!

Okay, I learned a valuable lesson here. Search Strings are only valid for the Session in Progress.

I have fixed all of the links, and cleaned up the thread. I have verified all the links with a different computer that never saw the search strings. Let me know if something don't work for you.

AZ,

  Great Idea. It would be nice to see the Starter removal for the early 80-82 starters, and also the best oil. These seem to be the most asked about questions.

Tnx SA Wingrider,

I don't know, but I would think that they would be more than happy to assist you in starting a distributorship :D

Why not send them an email to their marketing folks and ask for local vendors?
