1-3-2-4 Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I seafoamed my car and I wonder should I send the oil in or wait for the next oil change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishbone Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Wait for the next change at the very least, seafoaming skews the results and you won't know for sure what you're looking for. I would actually not send in an analysis for two oil changes, not just one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peaty Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I realize this is an old thread but was searching for a place to put my analysis and saw it. I sea foamed a car then sent in oil, I specifically asked them if they could detect any and they could not. So I think it's an urban myth myself. One I admittedly believed too. As long as by seafoamed you mean put it down the throttlebody (intake) and not in the oil like some people do. If you put it in the oil then all bets are off Peaty, 2019 Imp Sport 5 Dr (Mine) 2013 Outback Premium (Wife's) 2010 Legacy 3.6R (Son), 2001 Forester S (other son) 1999 Miata (my summer ride) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peaty Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 If I could get to the analysis from work I'd post a link but it's blocked from work. If I had my druthers I'd just as soon not send a recently sea-foamed motor in but like I said, nothing showed up on the analysis according to Blackstone. Granted this was with my Miata that has 116K miles on it but I can't imagine it would be different on a scooby. edit: Here is the link to the analysis when I used seafoam: http://peatpics.com/gallery2/main.php?g2_itemId=118717 Peaty, 2019 Imp Sport 5 Dr (Mine) 2013 Outback Premium (Wife's) 2010 Legacy 3.6R (Son), 2001 Forester S (other son) 1999 Miata (my summer ride) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
