a friend of mine says that seafoam is the single greatest thing in the universe for ALL vehicles. any input about seafoam in maxima 3l engines would be appreciated I have heard that it can be terrible on motors. i recently aquirred a 2000 maxima and have no depth of knowledge about small cars. thanks in advance

 

I agree with your friend.

 

It's really good stuff but will cause tremendous amounts of smoke when it's sucked in through the intake.

I would do this at sundown as to not freak my neighbors out. I went to home depot and bought about 5-7ft of hose that fits the intake nozzle on the car, then ran that hose to the drivers door to put in the can. I would run the car and use my foot to keep the RPMs up enough to keep the car from stalling while siphoning the can. After enough was sucked in, I would shut the car off for 30-60 minutes for the ingested seafoam to do its thing.

Then after that waiting period, I would start the car and take her for a long smokey drive to clean it out.

 

what does it do???? whats the benefit?

 

It's easier to link to this than type it all out: http://knowhow.napaonline.com/how-to...r-fuel-system/

I use the liquid form for the top end.

 

Delete PCV, problem solved.

 

thanks to everyone for generously sharing their knowledge. I am learning about small cars and know basiclly nothing about them.

 

thanks, i was gonna google it but wanted it from here w maxima filter.

 

Seafoam is garbage. Instead of Seafoam, please call me whenever you get the urge to burn money on stuff like that.

Well I guess I just fixed everyone's problems. I'm clocking out for the night.

 

So sassy lately.

 

Doc made a med adjustment.

 

When I had my 5th gen I would run it through the hose from the brake booster to the intake manifold....little at a time so you don't stall out.....it will clean out the gunk.....and easy on the gas after your done or you can mess up you engine.....also do it where nobody's around cause lots of smoke will come out after and you don't want people driving behind you cause they won't be happy.

 

Need I say more?

Oh so "sassy".
