Poured Seafoam down the wrong hose


Recommended Posts

and also spark plugs, I think its on the original, so they have 108,000 miles on them, would that help gas mileage at all? the sucky thing is the rear 3 plugs are super super hard to get to

IIRC they are the platinums but they're really only a 60K plug. So regardless of your loss of mpg, they should be replaced. There's no easy way to do the back bank, to me it's easier to do cylinders 3 and 5 from underneath and number one from up top. And since the wires probably have 108k on them, you should consider doing them as well.

alright, I am thinking of just having the dealership do them, but they will probably charge up the ass for them, also do you have a dodge caravan? cause I have a question specific that I was wondering if you could check something quick, should take like 2 seconds

I was thought a nice little trick where there is 3 plugs up against the firewall, unbolt the front motor mounts and roll the motor forward.

well, that is a bit more then what I could do, I would probably mess something up horribly, ha ha

It's pretty simple really and you don't need to completely roll it forward, just enough to get a ratchet with a long extension with a spark plug socket.

Rest In Peace mother.

Alright, Please try not to bash me :(, my engine is running fine, but I am pretty sure I poored seafoam down the wrong hose and I am not sure what this hose does. It runs from the air filter box to the top by where the engine oil is located, and it was pulling air towards the oil side. I know now that I am supposed to poor the seafoam in the brake booster vacuum line which I think is located behind my brake booster behind my battery by the fire wall. If anyone could tell me what hose I poored this down and where would the seafoam go from there that would be great. I also put it in my oil about 70 miles ago, so I am going to go and get it changed now as it is pure black :D there goes $50 dollars down the drain as this oil change only had maybe 700 miles on it, and its synthetic too, oh well, anyways, thanks for the help !!!!

im pretty sure about this, but arent you supposed to seafoam your car BEFORE you change your oil? not after.

apparently you dont get the fact that the subaru was wrapped around a pole. and by the status of your comment, im guessing your mouth is too.

yea, only when you put it in the oil though, unless you have really bad piston rings, it shouldnt get in your oil if you dont pour it in there, if you just pour it in the main vacuum line and in your fuel tank you dont need to, I poured it in my oil a week ago, so thats why I got it changed
