It's near time for an oil change on my car and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with adding anything to the oil shortly before an oil change. I'm a little late on my oil change and I've got some ticky lifters (hydraulic). So I'm wondering if there's anything I can add it to help clean things out in there and clean out those lifters.
I'm talking like Marvel mystery oil, Auto tranny fluid, Seafoam. . . Anyone have any experience? I guess it couldn't hurt any, I don't think. I'm particularly interested in Seafoam... I searched a couple forums and a lot of people seem to like it. They also use it as a gas additive and directly into the intake to clean up the combustion chamber (smoky). Any help? Thanks..... |

Seafoam works well, Marvel works good too (sometimes regular additives in my daily driver)
I've heard of people draining thier crankcase and running diesel AT IDLE for five minutes and draining (at idle, no revving) Theres this one guy who ran veggie oil in his engine, blew it up by revving it |
