Exclamation Seafoam and you

first step to using sea foam is to watch the instructional video to fully understand what sea foam can and cannot do.
http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...0865726229173#
step two locate the vacuum hose coming from the break booster.
3. pour 1/3 into the vacuum tube while maintaining a high idle( you may want a friend behind the wheel for safety)
4. once the 1/3 is added pour until the engine stalls or stops entirely
5. wait 5 minutes before starting
6. while waiting add 1/3 into the crank case (engine oil filler)
7. start the engine In a well ventilated area out doors is ideal
8. assure the fire department that shows up its not on fire its supposed to do that.
9. ones most of the smoke and fuems had cleard take it for a short ride around the block or the the store to get an air freshener to deal with the odor.
10.add the remainder of the sea foam to a full tank of gasoline
11. be sure to change your oil once it becomes thick and black
12. repeat every 1-2 years.

I don't add it to my oil anymore, since I went all synthetic fluids in my truck. But still use it for combustion chamber cleaning & the rest in my gas, prior to oil changes. Followed w/ 6oz. of "Lucas Injector cleaner" every 4-5 tanks of fuel.

I've espoused the virtues of "Seafoam" to the point that some members have suggested I might be a company rep. or own stock in the company. And to that I say, no. It is a "privately held" company. You can't purchase stock at this time. But if you do purchase one of the exceptional items in the long list of product line, please mention my name.

Synthetic runs significantly cleaner than Dino oil. Although is also dino based, but taken up a quite few refinement levels. At one point in refinement, a gasious state.

The result is superior lubricity & stability at higher temps. & resistant to decomposition when submitted to continual thermal fluctuations.

Think of the effect of redundant change in temperature in terms of elasticity at the molecular level. Regular oil, a rubber band. Synthetic, a bungee cord.
