Is it safe to use Sea Foam in the crank case?
A friend advised me not to? http://www.seafoamsales.com/sea-foam-spray.html |

The main car in question, a 96 Jetta, I have used synthetic in it, since new, and was told that it keeps it pretty clean, in and of itself? If that would be a true statement, then would think there would not be much gunk to come loose? It has 160,000 miles on it.

Both ran much better and I believe she picked up a couple mpgs. I personally don't think it can hurt, but I'm sure someone will tell you otherwise. I say go for it.
