Seafoam= 80% prox 20 viscosity non-detergent oil, 20% prox alcohol

Mercon= a 20 viscosity Gp III dino oil with friction modifiers and detergents

I think it foolish to put either in a newer, modern engine. If you guys are concerned about carbon build up, use what the guys recommend that designed, built, and tested the engine- Techron. It also doesn't smoke, screw up the air or the O2 sensors or clog the cat, etc. It safely cleans the entire fuel system, the injectors, the intake, the valves, the plugs, the pistons, etc and doesn't destroy everything down wind of the exhaust valves. Your money and your repair bills.
