Work for most port fuel injector but won't work for direct injection , engine oil sometimes really depend driving habit , 120km 8 year old local car i service in time whichever come first

, i flush power steering fluid , coolant and brakes fluid every year , I only flush my atf fluid d3 every 40k replace filter every 80k , since fluid there are boiling point know the limitations then can last a bit long rather than waste time and money change atf fluid every 20k d3

Engine oil is like no matter how good you use is like once you fried a fish entire oil is black , I mean if u use fully synthetic not always travel far I rather you buy semi drain every 3k lagi better right .....

Using all this cleaning agent are nothing bad or good if your car in good condition In engine part unless you are type not bother when problem come only complain then give it a try if engine running fine when service remember let your engine hot enough only drain the oil

But personal I not prefer suction haha

just a reference picture, the seafoam cant clean till this extent.
basically this is what it looks like

Since you already show the picture and obviously you already can tell how many work has to be done lmao

This is why I'm saying not working for gasoline direct injection since the injection are straight to chamber and is not typical people can do it when needed remove so many things haha

Any fuel cleaning additives add into fuel tank only work for port injector

Which mean the fuel spray into intake vavle clean the intake vavle and all the unburned things will burn at combustion chamber

Malaysia I don't see yet maybe have or I don't know  but there are other way to clean direct injection by blasting similar wood Ash more hassle

This is why there are newly technology multi port injector when running eco using port when performance needed direct injection
*
the liquid added to fuel line won't be able to clean intake valve that much in GDI system but that's is where the spray will do it's magic.

the most practical way is to go above 140kmh or more on the highway when you go outstation. The longer you hold on to this speed the more carbon built-ups will be burned.
*
not only carbon, but also it cleans the injectors too.
it has got 2 product, one is clean intake, carbons, throttle body
the second liquid is poured into crankcase and fuel tank.
both cleans different parts

the liquid after pouring can immediately feel it, which i think my injectors are a bit dirty, now press a bit the car can move d.
so i'd recommend to use both.

actually liqui moly also have same range of stuff, one for air intake, one for crankcase, the other for fuel tank.
so it's already known that those 3 places need some chemicals to go in and clean them. revving alone cant clean fuel track and injectors system

There are these local made carbon cleaner (not sure but the packaging looks cheesy) that does the same thing like Seafoam but it is more expensive!

JV Auto Lube - Engine Carbon Detox
https://shopee.com.my/JV-Auto-Lube-Engine-C...56533.883559347

So anyway..where can get Seafoam? I don't think I saw it at Ace Hardware when I went there a month ago.
*
The liquid can be used to clean fuel line together with clean intake. I saw some ppl apply intake via hose after mass airflow sensor. So one can of seafoam can cover most of things.

Ace there sold out d I think. Hunt for it at 3 outlets only found one can.
I'll keep a few bottles next time when they're on sale laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

if an old car (14 years) going through this method and might cause gasket and valve leakages, would it be wise to do it at the workshop and ask the guy to change gasket at the same time?
*
Better change cuz it's 14years old.

Or since it's leaking just do seafoam before sending over to mech

no leaking found yet, and I haven't start doing this treatment yet, i just found this thread this morning and still reading. Should I just do the oil change, run for awhile and see, if found leaking then only change the gasket?
*
Use liquid and spray.
Then go service.

If no leaking then just continue driving.
Just your car is very old, I'm afraid after removing gunk from engine might leak.

The one pour into engine is kinda like a engine flush

I always find this argument. Old engine. Don't do cleaning don't use engine oil with strong detergent.

So if using that logic. Does it mean all These while it's better to clean and maintain the engine so that when it's older, no problem cleaning it?
*
car is made of metal, rubber (gasket/suspension/arm joints) and plastics
everything have it's lifespan because steel rusts, rubbers harden and crack, plastics crack.
in term of leak, it's the gasket or the material which is usually rubber/plastic material has already exceeded it designed lifespan.
lets say you drive that car for 15years. gasket already fail around 10 but havent leak yet.

There are many ppl that never do engine flush (like my dad's car), so those engine oil form grease like gunk which hardens and sometimes it formed a coat.
When the above happens, usually the car will feel kinda crap, cuz the sludge will cause engine to have higher friction, sometimes it might clog your oil pump or even cause your engine to overheat because engine oil function is not only to lubricate but to be splashed around so that it cools engine as well.
When u try to overtake the power doesnt come, like hesitating, so you tend to floor the pedal to make the car pull, thus worse FC


so normal people dont see the loss of fuel efficiency, loss of performance as a problem.
they just know new cars FEELS BETTER but they dont know why their old car FEELS OLD.


'bocor' problem
When they do engine flush, the engine start to leak, they get to see the 'bocor' problem.
By right, changing gasket is part of the preventive maintenance, but since no bocor we use until it bocor laugh.gif laugh.gif
usually when bocor, mech open up find more worn faulty parts, (bills pile up) so ppl are very afraid of BOCOR.

But i find there are 2 types of people around. one is dont care can get me from point A to point B. the others are the more power hungry ppl like me.
high performance car workshop all do engine treatment everytime they service, while normal workshop dont do it because they fear later customer car leak oil and get blamed for it. cuz the customer always think that no bocor = no problem. (basically one is willing to spend to make perform 100%, the other simply DGAF can jalan okay d)


on the leaky gasket, i found another product that can rejuvenate the seals inside, can be used on engine, gearbox, transmission oil.



so this is how your engine looks like without engine flush.

So my question is this. Is it better to do this even before the car is old. Or it won't impact aka might as well just do it when your car is old. Bocor then Bocor la since its memang sudah over lifespan.
*
If you prefer car to perform well then do it like every year once.
U will feel your car lighter, easier to overtake

Bocor no bocor really depends on luck.

I do this treatment everytime my throttle response feel crap. Like car can't pull instantly when pedal on it. Or when I need to floor the pedal to make the car pull

Seafoam works good.... never top/bottom haul anything 200km plus on my spare car. The car pickup feels like when I got it new. FC now 30% better too.... amazing n really works. Engine oil change every 5k. Anyway my 140 bucks well spent. Yeah I had to use 2 bottles due fuel tank size  😎
*
ya, the new car feel is addictive.
when my car throttle response is bad, i tend to floor it cuz mine has been remap.
causing me to lose 10% of my tank FC.

so i'd rather spend it on seafoam and can overtake without hesitation.

u dint use the spray type ? spray is needed to clean the top intake part

What rejuvenates the seals ?

I was so impressed with the seafoam, I tried HKS DDR and DSR but I don’t feel much difference in the performance ? 😂
Mileage is low tho, maybe that’s y but the engine oils
I can feel the response with the performance ones...
But a old high mileage car the sea foam is no brainer...
*
check this out.
it's a plasticizer that can rejuvenate rubber and seals.

i do apply it on my engine mounting and rubber parts

I used seafoam for crankcase and fuel tank,

Amsoil powerfoam to clean out throttle plate and intake plenum, and I use contact cleaner to clean out the MAP sensor.

I netted 30% increase mileage.... over the years the mileage got worse and worse....

i guess your powerfoam does the same thing also.

u must be flooring the pedal all the time to lose 30% FC laugh.gif

bro, u see Fenix98 did record better FC and new car feeling.

Actually lots of ppl just continue to drive because they dont see losing performance and FC as a problem.
And they got fed up with the bad FC and so weak cant overtake so dump that car and buy new one.

I have a question. Is it ok to run seafoam for tgdi engines?

Usually the method is to run it via the throttle body. However my cars throttle body is located well below the intake makes it unreachable. If i were to run it via the intake thru the turbocharger, will it cause harm?

Went thru youtube cant seem to find any vids
*
whatever engine also can.

you may spray the mist into intake also, dont have to directly spray into throttle body.
but avoid spray on MAF sensor can d (at the intake there)

Btw, @AllnGap is the Deep Creep bottle the same as the one you used?
Both Cleaner & Lube and the Deep Creep have the same black cover.

Just to confirm, half of the white capped motor treatment for the petrol tank and half into the place where they pour the engine oil in right?

Not deep creep weh.
It's the engine treatment, wording in red one.
If you pour deep creep you need a new engine

I use water only lol. Drive at high rpm for a while until engine hot, then stop. Stuck the pedal with floor mat to rev it until 2500rpm. Open hood, cabut brake booster and then spray water inside brake booster. Then you can feel with your hand the exhaust churning out water mist. Use around 500ml of water. Then, after that, drive the car around within 4000rpm to redline. At first you car feel like want to stall. So put lower gear to high rev. Then done. My car already clock 193k km and its a GDI engine. Never done overhaul yet. Cheaper than seafom lol.

Bro, water is a bit dangerous as it could cause piston to warp.
