Seafoam and Mystery Oil

[BIGHOSS]

Lots of info on here about using these additives in older engines. Is there any advantage for using them in newer engines, such as my truck? It is a 2001 Silverado 2500HD, 6.0 gas with 62,000 miles. Will it help keep the fuel injectors clean? Anybody using seafoam in their newer trucks or cars?

I have used seafoam a friend of mine saw this stuff called startron on a truck show
http://www.startron.com/, i have been using it in my 01 GMC and pretty much anything that burns gas. I can say my truck runs smoother and MPG 's are up slightly. They also make a diesel additive too. So far I am impressed and yup its in the cubs too.

All of my vehicles, cars trucks, tractors, new and old , get a can of SeaFoam in a tank of gas every 6 months to keep the fuel systems clean, rather than waiting for them to get gummed up then using it.

I use seafoam in my 03 F150. Seems to clean up the fuel system really nice

I use fuel injection cleaner once a year in all my engines with fuel injection.

Back in the late 60's we used mobil upper lube in our engines. Rislone was good too you could hear the rpms pick up as you poured it in. I have noticed that my cub cadets ilde higher after the seafoam treatment.

With the warm and cold winter weather changing degrees so much i put in dry gas all the time too during the winter months if we see the warm and cold changing so often. If you have a summer car and a winter car its good to use dry gas in both when there stored and keep the gas tank full too so moisture or condsensation won't occur. I just went thru this with my daughters (winter)suv and her convertible spider(summer)

Interesting to read the responses. My newest vehicle is a 1993 Ford F250 and two vehicles are from the late 1970s. My tractors date from the 1930's to the 1950's.

I do not use any additives in my auto or tractor engines. Fluid and filter changes on a regular basis. The local gasoline is 10% ethanol, state law. 10% ethanol is sufficient to remove condensation from fuel systems.

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll just add that all my tractor fuel tanks are kept nearly empty. That's so that I don't have to deal with old, stale fuel. Keeping the tank full on a tractor that isn't worked daily is a good way to guarantee stale gas. The gas we buy today is, by law, 10% dri-gas.

None of my 3 road vehicles has EVER had a fuel additive used and I've had none of the imagined problems.
