TLDR: Seafoam treatment on an older car caused multiple issues.

Folks, I think it's important to share my own experience with seafoam treatment of an older car I did from way back in 2002, for the benefit of anyone who might be considering it. YMMV.

It was a 5-year old (then) 4 cylinder Nissan, slightly above average mileage. The treatment was successful, as in it achieved what was promised. But it also caused subsequent issues. Apparently, the stuff worked so well at dissolving and dislodging grime and deposits, that it also removed the stuff that was keeping gaskets and o-rings working. Once removed, the gaps were revealed and it cause major issues, from EGR, head gasket to piston o-rings. Imagine what happens when you pull out the nail that's been stuck to your tire and had been plugging the hole.

This does not mean it will necessarily cause problems for you, as it's delivered positive results to many and there are those who swear by it. But if you were to give this a shot, at least now you know the risk you might be taking.

All the best.
