ok i just changed my oil i run synthetic so its pritty pricey to change my oil and i just read up on doing the seafoam to the engine i have like another 3000 miles till my next oil change but i wanted to do the seafoam cleaning before dead winter cause id like for it to run better before winter hits plus id rather avoid doing it in -15 degree weather which will prob hit knowing my luck but if i did the see foam and let it run in my oil for the next 3000 miles would that be bad idea???

 

Everything I have ever read about doing Seafoam says change the oil afterwards, I don't know anybody who hasn't so I would say just wait till you need an oil change, cause Im actually in the same position where I put full syn in like 1000 miles ago and want to do Seafoam as well.

 

Every tiem I have done sea foam I have run it in the oil for about 300 miles or so. It definetly thins it out and lightens up teh viscousity (SP?), which means it obviously does not protect as well: which is why everyone changes it slighty after.

I definetly would not roll 3000 miles with it in there, especially with synthetic.

 

Post this in the fluids section plz. You will get a better response and also thats what the forum is there for. The question has been asked and answered.
