Does Seafoam Actually Work in a Car? (with Proof)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 тра 2024
- In this video I test Seafoam in a Honda Civic Si. I use a mini borescope camera to look into the engine and see how dirty the engine is before the fuel treatment and then after the fuel treatment.
I followed the instructions on the container and seafoam did a great job cleaning a good amount of carbon off the piston head. I am impressed by the results and finally we have proof that seafoam actually works!

I followed your video and it cost me a fortune. The Seafoam wasn't too expensive, but buying the camera, program and laptop computer broke me.
I don't know why I'm laughing this hard.
This is fantastic lol
Righteous Indignation boy just buy the can😂
@@brieflean idiot
LOL!
Seafoam Can: “Drive aggressively”
Me: gives everyone the finger while driving.
Lol
Telling everyone they are number one
😂🤣

Plus you start to follow the instructions. :D
Can we just appreciate there is a guy out there doing this stuff for all us car guys? Most informative shit ever bro. Thank you.
Might I suggest project farm
He gets paid enough money to do it so it's not that big of a deal
@@577buttfan takes zero effort to look at things in a positive light, he provides a great service he deserves to be paid, would you want it any other way if you were in his shoes?
What happened to Chris? He hasn't posted in years.
I agree!! He is much more informative and for a girl to do it, that says EVERYTHING!! He is "teaching" in a way that is understandable. I wont watch any other how-to auto videos.
No way 7 years later and ChrisFix still liking and replying comments, love this guy 🙏
I seafoamed my car and ended up smoking out my neighbor's entire property.
Worth it.

That was funny!! Lol

Sometime, somewhere in the world, a bird flying by has shit directly into an engine with the spark plugs removed.
What? Why? Haha.
Ha ha ha ha laughing my bollocks off
the worst coincidence imaginable
Which is why you need seafoam or a new bird flu
Somewhere in the world someone has to do such comment haha
Just did the seafoam "3 way treatment" (in the gas, in the crankcase, and sprayed into the intake) to both my son's 2010 Equinox and to my 2010 Expedition. The difference was astounding - I was very impressed with the Seafoam and will use it again.
putting Seafoam in the crankcase can lead to costly repairs, usually whatever it loosen has a habit of clogging oil passages, especially the ones that feed your main bearings.
you can search it on the internet.
the other 2 methods seem okay I suppose
@@terran2kk I think people should do this when they doing an oil change since that stuff still stays in oil.
@@GokuTheHusky it just goes through the injectors, not the oil. I usaually do this when I put a new filter and after a tune up. (2002 Ford Expedition, “285000” miles) and still running like a charm.
Question buddy did you remove spark plugs when you sprayed into the car? Or do you just spray those above areas w/o doing anything else?
@@whoelsebutthekidace No, this was just a treatment for the gas, the air and the oil. I think I did the plugs and coils afterwards.

Thanks a lot! I'm always working to keep building that relationship with you guys!
@@chrisfix 👍
I love chris fix, he is the only man on the internet i will swear by.
@Lu Ms it breaks it down and carries it through the exaust, if it does get stuck in the exhaust it doesnt matter since it wouldnt effect performance at all
@Lu Ms most exhaust systems are pretty thick in diameter, so theres alot of space for air to travel through it regardless of carbon build up, carbon build up hurts the engine performance usually when its inside of the cylinder because it messes with the firing of the actual engine, it can get in the fuel injectors and even on the tips of the spark plugs. This is a very condensed space, and seafoam should get the carbon build up out of the cylinder through the headers and through the exhaust, sometimes it can get stuck somewhere in the process however, but generally it doesnt, and if it does, it will just move onto the long exhaust pipe in which it wouldnt end up losing as much performance as if it was actually hurting firing time or the other engine components, so to answer your question, yes, it can, but its not supposed to. To answer your second question, if you have more than one exhaust tip and its thicker than the bananna can fill, then yes it would decrease performance, but in most higher performance exhaust systems, it wouldnt effect performance much, and this example doesnt work here because carbon is incredibly small, it would not build up to the size of a bannana.
This worked in my car with 100,000 miles on it, totally noticable throttle response, starts up great now on cold mornings, I drove aggressively at the end I caught like three feet of air over the train tracks and ran two red lights, now it runs great!
😂😂
Lmao
Hahaha

“Sorry officer, just getting rid of my carbon deposits”
LOL 😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂
Reminds me of my aunt who was in her 80's when she got pulled over for doing 95 in town. She told the officer her mechanic told her to blow the carbon out of her engine.
I said that after getting a 7 day impound xD
My exact words were, "it was in storage for months so i had to give it a italian tune up"
"Seafoam can" drive aggressively
"Me" does my normal driving

@@crazy8boy145 it was funny
Hah, but seriously, water probably would do a much better job cleaning the pistons.

Deadass happened to me a few days ago but I was let off with a warning
Nicholas Pham lol
you have TOO?
I swear I had a misfire code on cylinder #2 in my Jeep. New NGK spark plugs didn’t fix it but Seafoam cleared out the carbon deposits and the engine ran better immediately afterwards. I am so confident in this product after only one use it’s magic.
I've been using Seafoam in the gas tank in my '88 Dodge since it was new-- over 300,000 miles and I've never needed an injector cleaned or repaired. Same goes for my '98 Mercury.
don't remove the carbon. keep the pressure up. you might get a diamond soon. lmao

Hi Chris I just wanted to say really quick that I really appreciate you and your videos I think you do an exceptional job on keeping them short and to the point but not leaving any of the small tiny minute things that the average person might not know leaving those out and I think that that's a great and very hard to do but I think you do an excellent job at it and I just thought I'd let you know I really appreciate it
Bought this for my Camaro, followed the instructions to the T regarding the aggressive driving. Long story short I ran a few red light, pulled a mustang and hit a crowd, wanted in 3 states now but 10/10 would buy again.
Instructions unclear: I drove aggressively and I crashed
that made my day
best comment
+MrCudiBuddy must drive a mustang
!!
this had me in tears laughing
lol too aggressive
yep I just tried this 2 weeks ago before even seeing this and I noticed a difference in the engine right away. I'm very happy with it.
This was a thorough and detailed Fuel System Cleaning Test!
I always enjoy your Channel Content!
No one:
Chris's neighbors: is he breaking his car again for more content
Thanks for the likes......
I always wondered what they think when they see him with a helmet and just talking to a camera
It be badass to have him as a neighbor like you could work with him while he works on cars and he can teach you or if your car is not working he can help😂
3:47 that smoke ring is cool
*the ring would blow his house away*
That’s was pretty cool
3:54 You know there was one neighbor looking out their window with pure rage.
Hahaha yep. I used it in an IHOP parking lot, and people were just staring like "Screw you" when that smoke was coming out thick.
why did you do that in an ihop lot???
shit. think about how i felt doing this! my car has a resonator delete with an aftermarket intake and a straight pipe to a side exhaust i custom made. that bitch can be heard inside my house when IDLING! and i live in a neighborhood of primarily elderly people who like to sit on their porch. i didnt get very good looks from them XD

Man you have the absolute best car channel. Thank you for everything you do. Praying blessings over you
Thanks so much for conducting this test and really appreciate your editing skills with your equipment and being able to show us conclusively Seafoam works with this application technique. Really appreciate your videos as learning aides.
I really am impressed with your videos. They are interesting and informative, and they keep your attention. Great job young man!
Thanks a lot!
because he is focused on his point. in his video there is no if no but, only maintain talking to the point.i like his videos also
ChrisFix gjctdf00
Leo Ryan I feel the same way
I tried the same thing with a old gun bore scope but I added the sea foam to the fuel at fill-up. Half a can of sea foam per full tank for 4 fill-up's. Cleaned the cylinders very nicely. Thanks for quality videos.
I don't know how anybody couldn't like any of your videos your videos are so good I am very proud and you see how much you have grown your Channel
I just used it on my '85 Toyota. It seemed to work pretty well overall, and noticed the change almost immediately after starting to spray it in front of the TB. BUT, after I was done and took the the intake apart to remove the Seafoam line, a bunch of the seafoam dumped all over the ground. A bunch of it clearly didn't go into the engine.
Yeah Civic, we get it. You vape
That's a subie, not a Honda

Yea, I get them too. Stop commenting Edward, you're being part of YOUR own problem.
Push Back
I know we only looked at the piston and cylinder but I wonder what it did to the valves and injector tips? I hope more of the same. Thanks man great video.
I have always loved to apply Seafoam to my cars. I've owned 65 cars since I was 14 and I'm 38 now, so I've had some fairly crappy cars with alot of miles. I just love pulling the brake booster hose on my cars and slowly pouring Seafoam into the hose while running and watching my car smoke out the entire neighborhood. SO much fun!
24 years ,65 cars. Sounds like you are buying junk and make a lot on scrap metal. All your cars need a tag that says , scrap metal.
Used this on my just purchased, 20 year old prelude (150K mi). Before using it, I had no oil leaks. I used it and it cleaned out a whoooole bunch of nastiness, but it cleaned it out so much, that several gaskets started to leak oil (I assume the built up oil was plugging the holes). It runs much better, now that I replaced a whole bunch of rubber in the engine. I'm glad I was able to find all the leaks and fix them, but be warned that if you're doing this on an older car, there's potential for new leaks. But the car definitely appreciated the cleaning and all new gaskets!
Chris, Thank you for your curiosity and your thoughtfulness to provide us with very well produced videos. Keep it up!
No problem! I am glad you enjoy the videos Paul!
It would be interesting to test the cylinder compression PSI for each cylinder before and after the seafoam.
This is interesting.
I bought a 72 MGBGT about 13 years ago and the #4 cylinders compression was low I put some Seafoam in it and it brought it up to the other cylinders
The carbon buildup on pistons usually isn't a issue for most car engines that have carbon buildup, it's the intake valve (inside intake and not combustion chamber side) and the piston rings that can not be fully seen unless removed. Also the throttle body and idle control valve are key area that are suspect to rough idle and even throttle response that can be easily cleaned by most.
Seafoam makes intake valves pristine in lawnmowers, at least.
The smoke rings at the startup tho!
ExxonGaming I was like....wait what?!
The vape jokes if it was a Subaru though
Did someone say vape???
do you even vape brah
It should be a pain in the ass to wire in the camera in a boxer engine tho lol
Have loved seafoam for years, got told about it when I bought my rx-7, works wonders I have always done the "deep clean method". Get to 1/4, add seafoam, have a can with gas ready and run it till your empty. Add your gas can hit a station, fill up and drive
Cop
"Sir why were you driving so fast?"
You "I was just added seafoam to do a system cleaning, they told me to drive aggressively"
Cop
"...on your way"
In a perfect world lol
In reality, the police officer would see its a stock civic and say it still hasnt hit the speed limit
The back side of the valves is what I would be interested in , the minor amount that’s cleared off the Pistons is mostly irrelevant on a street car
Im a little confused. On a port injection vehicle, wouldnt just throwing it in the gas tank do the same thing? Itll be mixed with the fuel and clean the injector subsquentially cleaning the intake valve right and end up in the combustion chamber anyway? SO why go through the intake ? Cylinder heads?
At 0:43 watch the fuel cleaner containers closely. Did you notice any movement? I saw them shake, anyone else?
Wow
mrklimczyk woa some wind
mrklimczyk It was like 4 of them only and it's at 0:44.
mrklimczyk I'm pretty sure someone started the engine. The video narration is probably added in editing so you couldn't hear the car start.
mrklimczyk He's got the force! He's trying to hide it from us!
0:44 I freaked out a little when his magic hand moved the containers.
LOL same
LMAO howd that happen?
still trynna figure out how this happened we need to know
my first video from you and subscribed in the first min cause i love how you put it out there that you bought all products yourself to satiate your curiosity and to know for yourself!
Welcome aboard! And thanks!
I am more concerned with the intake valves and guides on a GDI then the combustion chamber. Would be interested in seeing the diff with the intake valves after seafoam.
Intake valves on a direct injection engine won't get cleaned by spraying seafoam through the intake, you have to go in and clean it by hand.
Exactly!
keep in mind, the engine was already pretty clean. I bet on a dirty engine the results would be more impressive. and you didnt look at the valves either.
It does work better in a dirtier engine. Letting the fluid soak in the chambers then removing it before starting is what works best.
Yea these kind of cleaners are meant for much older cars with years and years of carbon buildup
BlatentlyFakeName buy some BG44K is a top rated additive
Top rated by who, the manufacturers?
Marvin Harrison Smith II I don't use BG but know people that recommend it. What I do is this check out on Google.com in the search bar put in LS1 been testing oil. It's about using Marine two cycle outboard TCW3 rated oil at 1 oz per 5 gallons that's 640/1 ratio of gas to oil every time you get gas. My Volvo and Jeep run great. Marine TCW3 oil burns ashless. Lots of testing done. I've been using for over one year

+Philip Danzinger Haha lol
you have a good eyes, i give you extra credit for that ahaha
After watching all your videos on this subject it would appear that surviving combustion is the most important aspect of any of these cleaners for piston tops. For example seafoam is mostly pale oil that was used as an upper cylinder lube years ago. It allows the naptha, which is the primary detergent to survive long enough to clean the piston tops. So for your test it's the most likely to show visible results. Agree?
Love the videos man keep up the great work. And always have fun
4:24 he blurs out the speedometer
Looked like it was at 57 mph before the blur so maybe thats a 40-45 mph speed limit area🤷♂️
great catch, I didn't notice the first time
Yeah that was smart. That way he doesn't incriminate himself.
He was driving aggressively
UA-cam will get mad if he showed fast driving
The aggressive driving probably did all the work cleaning the engine.
Playboysmurf1 agreed
True, a friend of mine had an old Opel Kadett that ran lumpy as hell so we took it out on an empty parking lot and revved the shit out if and after a short while a huge black cloud came out of the exhaust and it was as smooth as a shaved kitten.
why a shaved kitten lol
Lmfao
I once had a slightly lumpy V6 Dodge. I was amazed that it put out 220 hp considering it was a normally aspirated engine. The mechanic told me to take it out and push it HARD and the lumpy feel would go away. Damn, it actually worked.
Hey Chris I have a 2006 Kia Sedona. Check engine light has been on for over a month with a P0420 code which is the catalytic converter. I threw in 2 cans of Seafoam, 1 bottle of Chevron Techron and a bottle of Lucas oil all at once. Ran it for a tank about 350 miles. The light went off and has been off for 300 miles now.
I appreciate the knowledge and wisdom brotha, thank you.

Always good results, knowing what you're doing is key!
Have you had any luck with sticky piston rings when adding it to the oil crankcase? Have you ever left it in for 3000k miles? Or just Vv 100-300 reason I ask is I just did a fresh oil change on my car.
@@truthseeker1203 seafoam deep creep might help a sticky ring, soak it for a while and it might pop free. I always used ATF before I found seafoam. The engine treatment can stay in if you want too. I put it in my skyline every oil change.
@@bikerboymc54 how would I go about using the deep creep? I was under the impression that’s for tight bolts. Do I need to pull any fuses? Change oil afterwards?

Lol yea ok. Seafoam does nothing. You got ripped off and you are full of shit.
Great job as always Chris,
Loved that V kicking in ... sweet man 👌🏆
Would love to see if it removed any carbon from the valves. Wish you could spin the camera around.
Great video! If you ever get the chance, definitely try this out on engines notorious for carbon buildup. Like Audi’s 5.2 V10 on the C6 S6 or D3 S8, which are much more prone than an R8 because those cars are more likely to be driven leisurely.
Good video! I think this makes more sense in case of direct injection cars which tend to build up carbon on the intake valves and manifold. Anyway, results are good.
Hi Chris, this is what I do every 10K miles. I mix up a fuel system cleaner which is a gallon and a half of fluid. One quart of Acetone, M E K, Lacquer thinner, Zylol, 100 percent Isopropyl alcohol, and two cans of Berryman gas treatment.
I mix this in a empty 2 gallon gas tank. I run my gas tank low and fill the tank with straight gasoline and the mix I described. In just one gas tank the engine gets cleaned well including the fuel system. Works for me fella. Give it a try, works really well. A old timer mechanic showed this to me years ago.
Peace vf
Extremely helpful video. Thanks for posting!
I just sent this video to a friend. We do this to all our vehicles when we first get them as well as later on down the road as matinence. Ur vehicles run a lot better afterwards.
I use seafoam one week before every oil change. I put it in the crankcase, full tank of gas , and intake. After oil change I add Marvel mystery oil in the crankcase. I have 250,000 miles on my impala. Never had a oil leak , head gasket , or any type of engine issue. I've had the car since 90k miles.
I feel like “Mystery oil” is a bad product name. Who wants to go around just putting mystery fluids in their whip, nah mean?
@@goinbananas1054 - So dope bruh nah imsayin . ion put no mystery fluids in da whip bruh.

Hey Chris, love your videos. Super informative, some of these things I already know how to do but watching your videos are still entertaining.
However, after seeing this video, i was kind of curious to what you would do for a Catalyst system code. Have you used any of the cat cleaners? i've also seen videos using lacquer thinner to help clear the cat. Would love to see a video on cleaning the cat, and the potential effectiveness of products.
Thanks!
Same problem here
I've used seafoam after my civic was idling rough that had 200,000 miles on it...after using it like you did it was running like a new car...safe to say seafoam def works!
You're a very well spoken video host. Thank you for posting this
I'm gonna do this to my brother's car but not mention the smoke out of the exhaust is supposed to happen. And watch the panic and anger set in for him, and the joy and hilariousness set in for me. 🤣
Damn, of all those I wanted to get your thoughts on Marvel Mystery Oil
You’re the man! I love your videos bro! Thank you so much for helping people like me that don’t have a ton of money to pay someone else to work on cars. You’ve already saved me at least $1000 bud. So thank you!
I’ve used sea foam on all my cars and I’ve had some cars for almost 8 years. That ran as well as it was new even after 100k plus miles. I’m not saying that sea foam kept my car on the road but it definitely did not hurt it as far as I can tell.

I've been wondering about this for forever now but the Shell gas station claims that shell V power can clean your engine of carbon build ups and gunk up to about 80% in just the first fill up. You should creat a video and see if shell V power (premium gas) cleans as well as they claim. My wife and I argue every time we will up if it's worth the extra money to fill up with V power just because they claim it's so great for you let vehicle. It would just be very interesting to see the results.
Steven Christen the only thing you need to understand about gas is the octane rating is all that matters. All gas require cleaners in them. Put in the gas your car manufacturer recommends unless your engine has been modified in any way to operate at a different ratio.
Steven Christen - I have the same question! My company deals with different fueling contracts, but many of their employees and drivers swear by and use Shell "V" Power! Been using it for over 15 years now...
Steven Christen yeah I don't believe that. also, I don't know where you at, but in some states in the U.S., Shell V power is equal to regular gas in Europe (whether it's a Shell gas station or not).
V Power in Europe is 98 oct RON (or 94 US octane), but in the UK I've seen 97 RON advertised as V power, in some countries I've seen 99… Some countries even have Shell "race" gas (100+ oct RON).
Over here, regular gas (U.S. 91) contains 10% ethanol and premium contains nothing extra. Just unleaded gas.
Don't fall for it, though… premium gas in a car that doesn't require it, and this seafoam crap… it's bullshit. Just fill your car up with the gas it needs and maintain your car probably and it'll run as long as it can.
@@arnemaeschaelck5012 ummm U.S. regular at least in California is 87 Not 91. Last I checked the amount of ethanol allowed was Unregulated. Arco and 7-11 is the worst imo and Shell stations here at least buy NON SHELL gas ! I've seen it many times. the tanker trucks have the names of major 3rd tier fuel companies. I dont trust Shell. Mobil Chevron and 76 seem to have less ethonal and more mpg than cheaper fuels after extensive monitoring in my V6 powered car. Alcohol ie ethonal burns faster than gas so the money saved is lost in lower miles per gallon.

I love the rev on that engine, I drove a Saturn ion redline now that thing was nuts fast had a super charger
It's amazing to see your style vastly changed within 5 months. Your Gumout video doesn't feel like a modern ChrisFix video, but this video does. Your Techron video is somewhere in between!
you should check for carbon in the intake manifold, throttle body and all those parts of the intake to the inlet valve. specially in diesel engines can build up there a whole lot of deposits which restricts air flow and also harms the turbo to spool up. i remove them as much as possible by hand, then i use a spray cleaner like you did and after this i burn free the DPF using OBD diagnostic tool. This will give the best results and noticeable more power (TDI engines). those deposits on top of the piston are not verry responsible for the engine.
Chris thank you for providing your channel you are fully detailed and very honest on your opinions that makes made me more interested in subscribing to your channel you rock bro I wish you was in Miami
Awesome! I wish I was in Miami too lol. Too cold here
@ChrisFix Thank you for all your detailed vids! I was wondering can I use seafoam to to remove carbon buildup on my 2015 Ford Transit 3.5 ecoboost? I hear mixed opinions on this issue bc of the turbos possibly being damaged? Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
The short answer is yes if anyone wants to skip the video. I use the oil and fuel additive and the intake spray both from sea foam on every new car I buy, always cleans a hell of a lot of stuff out and gives me peace of mind!
