Has anyone else put seafoam into a GMT-900?

believe what you want kiddo, and pay premiums for kerosene in motor oil (seafoam).

it completely hilarious how this garbage has become the marvel mystery oil of the 2000's....

pt barnum.

sure. seafoam has been used for the past 50+years. kerosene would work as would water, tranny fluid, and many other fluids if the person knew what they were doing. hey, i doubted it more than most, but after the obvious results using in my two strokes with powervalves, i figured why not. That was a clear cut example and won me over...what caused the powervalves to be fairly clean rather than sticky and gummy like the previous 3 times I cleaned them? I guess I'll do a full season test this winter and post pics with results. I'm not using it expecting miracles...but if it cleans half of what it claims to and is able to cure rough idles in higher mileage vehciles and improve lab results, why not? okay, i'm done.

This really is a waste of money. Nothing and I mean NOTHING replaces good old engine care and maintenance. There really are no shortcuts to it. I have an Impala with over 200,000 miles on it. It has never seen this product and never will. It idles just as smooth as ever and it gets the same mileage as ever. The trick, if you will, is to maintain it consistently over the engines lifetime, thereby negating the need for tricks. Drive it well, change the fluids, never let it over heat, keep the filters clean and use quality gasoline. I know it is not as clean inside as it was before I first started it, but it is an engine, it is suppose to be dirty. Any improvement is simply in your mind. And before you fire back about the two-stroke engine, man they could not be more different. As a kid I saw my father treat an engine using kerosene to clean it out, it worked somewhat, but it was the result of poor maintenance.
