You got to change that oil now, and the filter. I’d even recommend do another oil change and filter in a few hundred miles, and in the future don’t let the oil get so low on the stick. Check it every time you fill up.
i had an older car and put some in the gas , after which, i had to replace my catalytic converter. maybe i overused the product though had put a diluted portion of 2 cycle mixed gas prior (maybe a gallon with gas already in the tank), which prompted me to use it. I was possibly used too high amount but not by much
I'm not saying seafoam can't work. But based on most of the comments I think most people agree an oil change with synthetic oil would have done the exact same thing
This is thanks to EGR and emissions components. It prematurely causes build up on the valves. A lot of carbon build up. Seafoam in the crankcase and fuel tank do wonders for cleaning up the deposits. But its meant to be drained from the crankcase and new oil and filter added. It really does work when using regular fuel and not premium with the additional detergents used to keep the engine running cleaner. I have used it for years and it really does work. I have a 96 Pontiac Grand Prix with 266k miles and the only things changed were the head gaskets at 179k miles. Won't even bother to mention the 4T60... Its on number 3...
@@steveshook7331 On a 3.1l ? Yeah... They are usually toast before 100 k miles from the factory before they released the improved design used in the 3.4 SOHC engine. So, on the factory flawed design... I would call it a win. Dexcool wasn't friendly with the stock head gaskets in that year or previous generations of that engine.
Seafoam is also great for injectors. I got some for the wife's 05 liberty. Seemed like it wasn't getting fuel and missing. After the seafoam in the fuel. It runs like a top. Seafoam hi mileage injector cleaner. I doubled the does per gas. A whole can to about 7 gallons of gas and ran it almost bone dry before putting more gas in it. It worked. Jeep no longer misses, and fuel mileage got better.
Bro that engine only needs 2oz according to the directions on the bottle. Do a follow up video when you start burning oil. You can see the sludge when you removed the oil cap and you poured it in while running. This has to be satire or a parody. That Kia engine has like 17 recalls for blowing anyway. My Kia has 150k bought new in 2012. Why because I change the oil full synthetic 5w20 every 5k miles and NEVER ad anything else to the crankcase. Changed the plugs once. Rarely use fuel additives and only the good ones.
Clearly all the people in the comment section running their C-Suckers have never had a noisy lifter or stuck valve and actually used Sea Foam. it works more often than not. Run it for a bit, then change oil. Problem solved.
yep totally normal, some vehicles have a service interval for that gasket others just say "inspect" but on my own vehicles I always change them when bought (used cars) or after 70.000 miles that should prevent any leaks but oil and heat makes those rubber gaskets to become hard after a while
1) using seafoam a couple miles before the next oil change does clear up carbon deposits however shortens the life of oil which is why you don't do it directly after an oil change (unless you expect to do an early oil change). 2) for regular maintenance, do oil changes regularly every 5,000 miles and not the manufacturer's recommended 10,000 miles. It will extend the life of your motor. 3) putting the cap on does quiet down the motor quite a bit 4) adding seafoam to your gas tank before filling up your tank is even more helpful as the detergents also clear your fuel injectors from carbon deposits and does help your car's fuel efficiency.
This is what happens when you don't change your oil on time and you go Way Beyond the oil protection limit some people just don't deserve to own a vehicle because you think a vehicle don't need maintenance but imagine how they treat themselves but that could but that could be an understatement
