30K throttle service - Toyota Yaris Forums

socko · 09-08-2007, 11:42 AM

I just Seafoamed my wife's car - it's really great stuff. 6 or 7 ounces in the throttle body (use vacuum line to PCV valve to suck it out or the can or out of a cup), one ounce per gallon in fuel, and about 1/3 - 1/2 can in oil about 20 or 30 miles just before an oil change. Don't know if it is necessary at 30000 miles but some people do it alot more often than that. I plan on Seafoaming every vehicle I own at at least 60000 miles. Seafoam comes in 16 oz. cans at most auto parts stores. Caution: after doing the throttle body, wait about 10 minutes then restart the car - you'll get lots of white smoke but if you drive the car 10 or so miles (running the RPM's up to about 4000 it will quickly burn off).
