so i put half a bottle of seafoam in engine oil...had car idling for 20 mins...turned the car off.. nd dropped the oil... and the oil had little pieces of rocks(it seems) i tried putting a magnet on them and they seem not to be metal...there as big as sand ..by the way the car runs like a champ... happened to anybody here?

 

THat's why you do the flush thing in the first place, is to get rid of all that stuff. All those burnt crusties that have been accumulating for all those years of Quaker State or whatever. They have nowhere to go except out the oil plug when they're dislodged.

Consider it as evidence that the Seafoam DID something. Maybe not the best stuff to use for that but at least it accomplished SOMETHING. Your engine is at least a little bit lighter now.

 

Seen it before when my Dad took his car to a local shop, they put handfulls of tiny rocks n sand in the motor to try and make more money on service.

To bad I did the work the 2nd time.

He had them change the oil pump, which didn't take, I did it a 2nd time with no luck either.

Who knows of the first chaning of it would have worked if not for all the crap they put in the motor.

 

Sounds like the oil hasn't been changed enough and there is some serious carbon buildup. I Would be careful with knocking all that crap loose in there and having it float around in the engine.

 

it has been changed frequently...the oil was still clean b4 i dropped that seafoam in....

 

Have you owned this engine since new though? Clean oil doesn't always mean the engine itself is clean. Unless you have had the intake off and seen inside the engine and saw it was clean.

 

no i dint own it since new.... but i did take the intake manifold off...since it was leaking oil from the back...(gasket gave out) and it looked clean...confused but thx anyway
