I have a can sitting in my garage, starring at me daily.

It's so intimidating i'm not sure if I'll ever work up the courage to use it. I've heard some nasty tales :S

works great on cleaning out combustion chambers.

and like any solvent added to oil. Run it for 15 minutes, then do an oil change.

turbo seals are metal. they are not going to get fucked

If the oil and filter changes were done regularly with good quality oil, I wouldn't even bother with it. Specially since your car is for sale.

I suppose you're right.

I changed my oil weight when I last changed my oil..

taking the day off tomorrow, and was pondering doing it..

I'll just go back to my old oil weight again, and see if it clears my issue.

I've used seafoam many a time, and I swear by it, does wonders for me.
