Hello, just wondering what the best oil/fuel additive is to clean out an engine, thanks.

can you leave that in while you drive it or do you have to put it in then change the oil?

Yep. Seafoam 200-300 miles before an oil change... Clean the MAF and throttle body at this time too!

Napa/Kragen/Oreillys/AdvancedAuto/Autozone/CarQuest... whatever auto parts store is in your area. Comes in a white can with cursive writing on it. I also like Chemtool but it is generally pricier.

Good luck.

Really? I have never actually thought to look there. Napa is closer than walmart anyways, though I have a target right next to my house...

You will get 100 different responses to this. I say that nothing is worth buying besides the Techron or bg-44k.
