recently i've sent my car install oil catch can, so opened the intake and it was very dirty.
so ask my mech whack 3 bottles of intake valve cleaner.
i dint take the after picture, but managed to clean the valve to a thin carbon coat, the whole chamber is clean but the valve not clean 100% because it's just chemical spray to dissolve the oil residue

this picture is how it looks like after i whack whole can of seafoam into it 2,000km ago. (car mileage near to 110,000km)

after cleaning with 3 cans of valve cleaner, the whole car when step oil will sound better (better, faster response), definitely pulls easier.
of course walnut blast is the best method, but i just went for normal chemical cleaning.

seafoam does the job but not 100%. want 100% have to go walnut blasting  brows.gif  brows.gif

wahhh your car also oil catch can already

is it easy to install?

you buy aftermarket one or self diy a can?

ur mechanic also know how to adapt install for your car?

valve cleaner need to run engine at idle or not?

so result is 3 cans of valve cleaner clean better than one seafoam right?

all this while using 5w30, changed to 5w40 on jan, added seafoam when need to change oil, run for a week+, switched back to 5w30 now, feel back the smoothness, of course switching back to 5w30 have a play in this. but...i do feel like its smoother from my feel using 5w30 previously.
so it could be seafoam is really working.

does that mean you used seafoam just 1 time?

and 5w40 also try for one time from january till you mentioned now?

if so i feel it's too long apart, could be really cleaning but smoothness might just be new oil in engine

responsiveness and power wise?

yes, try 5w40 one time jan till now. yes use seafoam one time only.

so that's why i say, definitely feel smooth, definitely switch back to 5w30 got effect on this feel.
and i just want to state i FEEL seems smoother than before i switch to 5w40, when still using 5w30.

i dont have any data, just feeling. and sharing what i FEEL. i didnt say seafoam definitely works  laugh.gif
i dont mind doing this every 2 years.

and i wont be switching back to 5w40, will stick to 5w30 from now on.
i do have a bottle of 5w40 shell helix ultra left.  hmm.gif

responsive, sure better, but most coz 5w40 back to 5w30 lor. cant say much about this and power. like you said, not gonna be very accurate coz of my scenario. i can only record my FEEL  laugh.gif

and syukur no leaking after 1 week+ after change. its an 8 years old car.

do check out my blotter spot test: https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4192241?author=cempedaklife
and check out zeng's comment on it.

ohh...it's shell fully, i see

extra bottle shell just sell la, since you prefer thinner one

i feel that seafoam need to be used more often, maybe in other application than filling in crankcase, since your oil change probably is yearly once, i wanna suggest twice a year, might be too frequent for you laugh.gif

i plan to switch to use seafoam on intake twice a year and in petrol tank once in 2 months
