    Default Seafoam or Something Similar?

    I came across this on Youtube and started thinking is it worth doing.

    YouTube - Seafoam ms3

    This guy claims his got only like 15,000 miles and look home much carbon came out lol.

    Has any one here tried it or found a suitable replacement for it?

    I've used 'rocket fuel' on my old car but was only done via the intake not in the engine it self or fuel tank.

    Yep its the same stuff (well not the same product per say but designed for the same purpose). Used in mine and there was a difference to the idle and over all acceleration smoothness.

    Rotary workshops will usually have the service, pretty common thing to do on our engines

    yeah, use the UEC before, but i finished off by unmounting the throttle body and getting into the intake manifold with some Motul cleaner as well.

    the UEC can be a bit tricky, just be sure to use the right intake hose.

    Subaru Upper Engine cleaner is awesome. Here is a vid of me running it through my old Cressida.

    Makes a great difference!
