    Sea Foam Mixed w/ Oil

    With how "picky" PCM says these engines are (especially in the G models) with very specific instructions on what type of motor oil to use.
    Am curious if anyone has mixed in a Sea Foam treatment with their oil change like Sea Foam says you can do with motor oils.
    I've done it on my vehicles, lawn equipment, & ATV's. Seems to work great. I can tell when I change the oil after mixing it in the oil that its "dirtier" than when I haven't done a treatment.
    Been using it as a fuel treatment for a while. I like it better than Sta-bil.

    I've seen and heard of people using Sea Foam in just about everything and it seems to work well for specific issues. That said I don't think I would personally use it in a newer boat unless I was experiencing some kind of problem. Same with my car or any other newer vehicle that I own. If you're doing all your maintenance and using the right products from day one you shouldn't need to load up on additives.

    Do I think using Sea Foam will hurt? Probably not. Would I personally use or recommend it on a newer boat? Probably not. But that's me and everyone is free to do what they will with their boats.

      In a newer boat that has had regular oil changes, no oil additive is really needed. The SeaFoam is OK in your fuel as an occasional additive, however my personal preference is Klotz fuel treatment and octane booster.

        I wouldn't do it unless you had very specific information you had an oil sludge and dirt problem. Boat engines tend to run much cleaner than most other engines as they typically run in a no-dust environment. And as long as the oil is changed on a regular and correct interval, the detergents in today's modern oil should quiet sufficient to keep the internals in good operating condition.

          Sounds good guys!! Thanks for the replies. Just getting some thoughts on the idea since I've been using it for a little over a year in all my vehicles, lawn equipment, & ATV's as a fuel additive and in my oil changes. Almost ready to do the spring maintenance so getting some opinions on it to see if I wanted to do it with my boat.
