Hello all I figured at 50000 I would run sea foam through the brake booster line connected to the intake and 1 whole can in the tank. Well what a difference lots of stuff out of exhaust even blue smoke towards end of oil grime burning off no hesitation and way better response. I've used it in all my cars from time to time always had great results. Thought I would see if anyone else did this yet. Also read can thoroughly before doing this through vac hose also if so do this process at your own risk.

Yes has to be run through brake booster vac line my 1.4 splits the line after it comes out so I disconnected the one piece that connects to the intake and dripped it in through there. Also through some in the turbo vac line to was some oily residue in there. Didn't think to video it good idea sorry.

You just drip the liquid through the brake booster connection? As in don’t use a seafoam with the spray nozzle? I was going to run seafoam through my car before doing the oil change so I just want to make sure I do it correctly

Dude that post was 6 years old, you should have just started a new one. FWIW just put it in your gas tank, its the fool proof way. IMO spraying it into the intake doesn't get you anything on port injected engines like ours. If you want to do meaningful maintenance, clean the throttle body.

2 ounces per gallon in the fuel tank will clean the fuel system out.

Seafoam is great stuff -I would definitely recommend it at the interval that you ran it through.

Generally, the instructions tell you put put 1/3 a can in the intake (to clean the top of the engine), 1/3 in the oil to clean crud from the oil passages, and 1/3 in the fuel tank near empty to clean injectors. I used it several times on my old car, and it always seemed to run much more smoothly and stronger afterwards. There was always a LOT of smoke too

Not a Cruze, but...

Do you use the seafoam spray for the top engine clean or drip the liquid into the intake?

Cool, thanks. Throttle body is already clean, i got some amsoil products on the way instead already. PEA products are better

Currently PEA products are all I vouch for. They are all fine, I personally use Techron. I was going to say something, but I figured you had already bought the Seafoam.

Every 25k miles.

Full 20 oz. Can in the tank is all I do. Combined with non ethanol.

One guy on YouTube used a Full bottle in the tank on a bronco II. A full bottle in the oil. Cleaned the throttle plate. And ran the tank before changing the oil.

The bronco 2.8 was famous for valve clatter. He had that thing purring like a new motor.
