No reason to do it more than 2 or 3 times a year hun....


1/3 down the intake, 1/3 in the gastank, and 1/3 in the crank case 500 miles before an oil change..

It really shouldn't, but additives should be "added" sparingly

im on my 2nd MAF and 2nd K&N filter. 02's are reasonably new. but it seems every week or so im loosing power. drives real slugglish. when i step on the gas pedal from a stop it diesels. like the cars did in the eighties when you turned them off. But pour in some Sea-Foam. use carb and choke cleaner with some Q-tips on the MAF. Bada Bing Like new again peppy very responsive. "passing" Power. 10 days later slow and shitty like an old dog. What gives?????????

Yes it will.

Auto-RX requires you not to add anything else to it to thin it out.

As for seafoam, one can in the engine per year is all your need.

Sounds like maybe your filter is over oiled and gumming up your MAF.

That is a odd combination there Girbear.
Which one is helping it or doing the most good.?
The maf sensor clean or the sea-foam.
Any check engine lights?
Do you have acess to a engine scanner or fuel pressure gauge.
How is that fuel filter?
Go easy on the q-tips and.
Also go easy on the oil in the K&N filter. It is hard on maf sensors.
They make some maf cleaner in a spray can now that works good on clean them.

check engine light is always on. It needs a screen saver lol. Im thinkin Fuel filter,Plus maybe Catalitic converter? I have plenty of time now. Plus the Blazer is leaking oil again like its a regular function. its coming from mid block passenger side. followed the wetness to this location. I cant see exactly where cant pin point it.

the maf is being clogged up with oil from the cotten filter

10-4 there Girl bear
Like BlazerLT says the codes may pinpoint the problem.
If you can a code post the no back.
And yes fuel filter is first thing to check.
If oil leak is on the side check that valve cover gasket.
If on the rear try a mirrow back there.
Also they make a dye to oput in the oil for hard to find leaks.
Good luck
