I changed my plugs 2 day and poured a little seafoam in the chamber before I placed the new plugs, then poured the rest in the tank before i filled up and allready notices difference. It works

yes they work. if u really countin on it to help u out then go with BG 44k or something like that. its really good and expensive but i hear its worth it. if not, then stick to lucas or techron (chevron)

I was skeptical at first but i used the techron injector cleaner and it got rid of the hesitation. I'm a believer...

ok, this is funny, lately, my car felt like ****, choking leaving stop lights and not very powerful (could notice much until I did the cleaning) but here is what I did.

first I pour a bottle of chevron. twodays later, I saw at AUTOZONE that tey are selling SEAFOAM (i WAS LOOKING FOR A THERED TO POST THIS, SINCE i DIDN'T KNOW IF THIS WAS A REPOST) well went home, did the correct way of pour sea foam (breakhose) left the car sit. started andgot alot of greyish smoke and alot of CO2 smell (did this one week ago) then again when the tank was low this week, I added another chevron in the tank. did a oil chage with + mysteryoil.
Now just for your information. just the chervon helped the car run smother alittle bit. once I did the sea foam, I got lots of lost power (of course my car has 186K) but it feels new power like I never saw before. car feels new again.
