Re: Sea Foam

Unless you have significant build-up of sludge or oil-staining inside the cam covers, there probably is no need to add Sea Foam to the oil. If you do add it, it is recommended to add it a few hundred miles before the scheduled oil change. It is petroleum based naptha, a light oil, which can thin the viscosity out a bit but not enough to cause wear problems...we're talking a pint versus ~5 quarts.
