Soon as I saw the title of this thread I wondered if you would let the folks know.

Until you have more motors than you can count on one hand blow up in the hands of more people than you can count on one hand for reasons no one can explain I wouldn't go casting too much judgement.



the stuff is really meant for old *** pieces of crap that are dying. It's like Mystery Oil. You use that stuff on motors that are locked up or have been sitting in a field for 20 years not on brand new cars.

Everyone learns lessons.


Me personally. I'm paranoid. Nothing goes in my motor that didn't come in my motor.

I think what you're trying to say is that its a last resort to be used when the engine is pretty much close to being dead so you have nothing left to lose

I used Seafoam on my previous wrx. Car felt smoother afterwards.

I wasn't trying to judge, sorry you took it that way.....

yeah.

Shoot anything that cost about the same as a decent quart of oil can't be some kind of miracle. Miracles cost more.

I've used this on all five cars I've owned in the past with nothing but great results from all and a number of my friends cars. Sorry to hear that it's not the case across the board.

i guess i was lucky... I used it in my 00rs motor and nothing improved, but nothing break either... i would never use it again simply it didn't do anything. HOWEVER, Lucus Fuel Treatment has been great!
