My car's only got 41K miles on it and don't want to try it before I bring it into to get checked out next week. But my g/f's Kia always takes a while to start in the winter and it has over 50K on it so I'm thinking I should try it on her car first (when she's sleeping, preferably, so she doesn't try scream bloody murder when she sees the smoke pouring out of her exhaust).

yehhh... no.
even if there was a "difference" in how your car ran after seafoam it could in no way be a permenant fix. its all hype and overrated bs. and we would never recommend any kind of silly pour in poop to our customers, we laugh at the ones who do, actually. its foolish.

I got a big MPG increase yet there was very little smoke when I used this (used 2/3 of the bottle). I had ~70K Miles.

Ok, now explain to me why its foolish to raise your engines efficiency? I can't just let you say this when I gained as much as I did. That would be foolish.

I wouldn't consider this a fix for anything pawz. It is something to clean out the engine that is inexpensive and that anybody can do themselves. It saves time and money and everybody needs more time and money.

I just got some today... worked like a champ... pouned like a third of the bottle straight into the throttle body... now i'm gonna put some in the oil ans the rest in the gas... idles a lot smoother... starts better... rev's quicker... and runs quieter. After this tank of gas i'll see is it did anything on fuel economy...

I just used this today in my car today. I have used it multiple times in a full tank of gas with decent results. But today I dumped half a can into my crankcase and feed 8 OZ into the PCV valve vacum line. I worked great, idle is lower and smoother, hesitation is gone and it just in general seems to run better and smoother.
Great Product!

It's stupid to say that, It is stupid to believe it permanetly fixes engine problems.
In my case it was a permanent fix, All i had was dirty gas, so it permanetly fixed it. I'd say it runs great now.
Id definately recomend sea-foam.

question is.....shouldn't an oil change be performed SHORTLY after using it in the crank case? I would think it would thin the oil out somewhat and cause a potential burnt bearing or three, not to mention put alot of buildup in the filter.

The results that everybody is getting seems to be pretty mixed. In my opinion it does work. Those you were saying its not a perminant fix, it is and it isn't. it doesn't fix any mechanical damage, but it does clean out the engine in my opinon quite well actually. but if you do put some in the crankcase i would advise changing your oil shortly after.
Other then that great product in my opinon.

Now, the only question I have about this is this: It obviously cleans out the carbon deposits right? So if I use it to clean out the carbon is it going to clog my cat with a bunch of chunks of carbon and restrict exhaust flow???
