Silly question. Can the seafoam operation be done on a sloped driveway, or does it have to be on level ground?

Reason I ask, is that I'm not too keen on parking my car on the road, and filling the road full of white smoke....:naughty:

are there any other products out there that do the job just like the same way or is this the only product.... cuz it seems like the price for Seafoam has gone up... i just got it at wallmart for 9 bucks and i remember it used to be 6 or 7 or so...

Where rusted out cars don't exist
i did it in my driveway :driving:.

then, as soon as i started to rev up my engine, my neighbor pulls up and yells out, "your car is on fire!!" and then she starts doing :squintrun: as she realized it wasn't and just didn't want to be around the smoke.

:thinking:

im seeing a lot of mixed opinions, i got 185k on my engine, oil changed every 3k miles+/- 500 miles

idel runs a lil low for my liking but never anything to drastic, had a mech look at it(brother) said its super quite and runs smooth for 185k, surprised him,

wanna maintain good life of engine, no seafoam used in this car b4


any opinions on my stiuation

should i do it as a preventive maintenance?

Your engine is already almost 200k, you should just leave it alone. Dont add anything to the oil, you may run seafoam through the intake manifold, but id rather u just do it right and take the throttle body off and clean it manually.

You could probably get another 100k if u just do what ur doing.
