My girlfriend has a 03 max and I want to take very good care of it. Would doing the seafoam thing on a regular basis now be a good idea? Would it help me out alot on the carbon build up if I started using Seafoam at 15K? I don't want to over do it.

Any other suggestions on how to keep this car running like new?

 

Yes, it's a good idea to start cleaning with Seafoam now. Do it every 10000 miles.

 

I no thinky seafoam really worky. To clean the engine I just put some ATF under the spark plugs and the car smokes for half an hour. At first it was really dark smoke, then it becomes white. ATF is cheap also. Like mentioned before, seafoam contains octane booster which when added to the fuel tank makes you think that you gained MPG and a bit of power.

 

I think for high mileage engines like mine, one can won't do the job but over time it will. I took my manifold off 2 weeks ago and it still was a freakin mess.

 

Do you take off the spark plug or just off the coil and pour ATF?

 

I sucked Seafoam through a vacuum line, let it sit for 30 min, then let the smokeout begin. I gained a consistent 2MPG. No octane boosters doping my results there.

 

Take the spark plug out.

 

I was wanting to do that with my '95. I it very difficult to do? Did you see a dofference after you took it off and cleaned it? What will I need just a new gasket?

My girlfriend has a 03 Titanium and I just want to keep up the maintenence on it. I was thinking it would be smart to start while the car is young to keep carbon from building up.
