Yeah that is pretty much what he said.

Never heard that one before, so i thought I would run it by you guys.
not to worry I aint gonna try it, I just wanted to know what you guys thought.

Seafoam does work decently. However its not NEAR as potent as the GM stuff. Ive used both. They both work the same, used the same and work to do the same thing. YOu can just tell the GM stuff does a better job.
Seafoam now is like $8-9 at Advance Auto- used to be $6.
GM stuff is $10 at a GM dealer.

Never used GM's stuff.


Yeah, I noticed that the sea foam went up a few bucks, just like everything else I guess. :sad017:

On a side note, gas prices are nice right now!

yep nothing beats a regular tune up
any of you ever make a pvc catch can ive done that on all my vans
ive never used the top end cleaner but i cant complain about sea foam it has worked for me

I've had good luck with sea-foam. I let it suck up through the vaccum line and run a bottle through the tank.

I do this the day before I plan on doing a tune up and oil change. Theres always a chance it could foul the plugs (which is why I plan on changing them anyways)or ruin an o2 sensor, but so far so good though.

People seem to think a can of fuel additive will fix anything, when most of the time they have 3 trillion miles on there plugs/wires. You know what really keeps a vehicle running good? Preventive maintaince, sounds crazy I now.

If you got hesitation first try the PB Blaster branded fuel system cleaner. One bottle will treat two tanks and it LOOKS like trans fluid. That stuff works well.

After that purchase a can of "GM Top End Cleaner" and follow the directions.

Dont mess with Seafoam. Its an over priced and watered down version of the GM stuff.
