SUMMARY
Sea Foam Motor Treatment can be used in every type of gasoline or diesel engine. When added to an engine’s oil crankcase, Sea Foam Motor Treatment works to clean and liquefy heavier oil deposits, so the residues will drain away when the oil is changed. Sea Foam cleans internal engine parts, prevents sludge and other harmful oil formations.

RELATED QUESTIONS
How much Sea Foam should I use in my 2005 Harley Davidson sportster 1200 crank case and how long or how many miles should I run it in order to clean contaminants out of my bike?
Thanks for the question! Add 1 oz of Sea Foam per quart of oil in the crankcase. Best practice is to run it at least 100 miles before you change your oil (just ride normally until you reach 100 miles – you don’t need to ride it 100 miles right away).
Do I have to drain some oil out before I add some Sea Foam so it isn’t overfilled?
Can I use sea foam in a ‘94 Subaru Sambar engine? It’s a Japanese imported mini truck.
Thanks for the question, Juan. Yes, you can use Sea Foam Motor Treatment in a Subaru Sambar. You can use it in any gas or diesel vehicle in both the fuel and the oil.
Here’s a little more info on how to use it:
- Sea Foam Motor Treatment in fuel. I like to wait until the tank is low (1/4 -1/8 tank), add the whole 16 oz can, and then drive for at least 10-20 miles before refueling. It’s safe to add a high concentration like that and it works very well for cleaning fuel residues and deposits. Add it to fuel like this every 3,000 miles or once a year.
- Sea Foam Motor Treatment in oil. Add 1 ounce of Sea Foam per quart of oil in the crankcase. We recommend adding it 100-300 miles before your next oil change. That gives the Sea Foam enough time to circulate and clean, and it allows all the reliquefied oil residues to be drained away with the old oil. To help progressively clean up your oil crankcase, add it before every oil change.
You could also try High Mileage Motor Treatment. It’s a strong cleaner made specifically for stubborn residues and deposits in higher-mileage vehicles.
How do I use Sea Foam in my 2009 Mercedes E350?
I have a 2020 Jeep Willy’s. How much Sea Foam should I put in the oil?
Thanks for the question, Eddie. Yes, you can add the Sea Foam directly to the oil. Add 1 oz of Sea Foam per quart of oil in the crankcase.
We recommend adding it 100-300 miles before your next oil change. That gives the Sea Foam enough time to circulate and clean. It also lets you drain away all the reliquefied crud (residues and deposits) when you change your oil.
Hope that helps and let me know if you have any questions!
