      Good stuff. You can use it regularly as fuel injector cleaner or do the cleaning with it. Just pour it down a vaccum line or prefibly your PCV line until the car dies out out...wait 5-10 mins start the car up and watch the smoke show.

      P.S. I just dump the whole bottle in........

          OReily's is a little less if you have one close and they sell it by the gallon which you really save money with.

          I've used it for years in my cars and bikes. Great stuff.

              it doesnt clean intake ports on the uppre or lower intake to well. best to tear them down and manually scrub that stuff than do an oil change to keep carb cleaner from washing out main bearings... i have photo evidence after cleaning... best to clean it manually

                  Put it in the fuel tank and in the brake vac line. I would not put it in the oil.

                    I've found water in the PVC line works wonders as well. Cleared my Check engine light in the GM.

                      Don't dump ANY engine flush in the oil for that matter. But yes, Sea Foam works great if done right. Oil change and new plugs can't hurt after.

                        Water will clean it out. Acts like a steam cleaner inside the engine.

                              I don't think they sell Seafom in Canada, so I bought Canadian Tire "Carburetor and Combustion Chamber Cleaner" in a smallish black bottle. Does anyone know if this stuff works as well as seafoam? The instructions are similar.
