Hello, new to the Fourm, I was always a Jeep guy and just got my first F150,
I have a 2007 F150 XLT iwth 5.4. I see seafoam is a cleaner but is it necessary? is it better than other products on the shelf which I alsways thought were just a gimmick. Any help is appreciated, I only have 45,000 miles just wanted more info on this product since I see it mentioned on this site a lot.

 

well I used it in my H2 when water get in my gas tank adn it worked great after two tank full, I just added a some in my F150 crankcase, but didnt get a chance to change the oil before I sold it.

 

Good grief! Use the Advanced Search and look up what Labnerd has to say about Seafoam. I feel sorry for whomever bought your truck.

 

Here Bluejay, I'll bring a single post that has a very simple explanation from Labnerd.

I've seen it help out two vehicles and plenty of small work engines...but Labnerd brings up a very good point in one of his older posts involving the ingredients. I'm not sure about the Berryman yet, I'll have to see what's in it.


I was actually surprised how many threads were titled "seafoam"

 

Seafoam=Junk........use techron or regane you'll have better results....berrymans also makes good products.....

 

x2. For some reason, Shell was a whole $.10 cheaper than my Murphy's even with the WalMart $0.03 discount

 

Communist.

This is one reason why never to buy used. I've met a few people in the past whom had the know how and really cared for their things. If they didn't know how, they cared enough to learn.

Lesson 1:

"Reading the back of a can and trusting that, makes you a gullible idiot."

 

I'll rephrase that, "can make you a gullible idiot" . That's about the best I can do. Since marketing with Half Truths is more less legal. Chemical's used may even be rounded off in a sense. So ? Well, the only way to know what your buying and realize it's ACTUAL effects is from someone experienced in field that's non-bias. Labnerd wears those shoes.

I can't believe you ran it in the crankcase or that they marketed such a product, as a type of preventative from -

What they have is a product that won't hurt the engine IF, used as directed. I believe that's the criteria that must be met for the EPA to give the nod. It's a good scam for someone, not for us. If I remember right, they were charging $12 a can lol.

 

I saw $9 if you were paying attention at autozone last month.
I remember because I almost bought a can until I really read up on it.

 

I seen it for $12 at the same place. Correction, - that's for their other stuff and not for the crank case. That stuff the booster line will drink right up, if given the chance.
