sea foam - Toyota Yaris Forums

Personally, I have been just adding a can to the tank of my cars about every 5k miles or so.
why? It's a very good injectior/fuel sys cleaner and gas only has the bare legal minimum cleaners in them which is acually not enough to keep them as clean as possible.
The amount was determined by the big oil lobby so, this should tell you something. In my Celica (that I recently sold) the enging still ran like new after almost 90k miles.

It is not nessary to put it into oil unless you have a sludge build up. Changing oil when required will prevent any sludge to begin with.

Also keep in mind that Sea Foam is good fuel stabalizer and it can be added to the fuel of engines that will be stored for a season including a car that is rarely run for the winter, etc.

Yes, you can let some be sucked up through a vacuum line to clean out an intake etc.
However, wether this is nessary or not for a realatively new engine is certainly debatable.

BTW, I have found that WalMart is the cheapest place to get it.
