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.

I have Audi q5 2015 2.0 turbo drinking oil more than gas. Can I use Sea Foam to help with oil consumption?
If the oil burning is caused by oil residues and deposits, Sea Foam will help reduce it.
Adding 1 oz of High Mileage (what I would use) per quart of oil during every oil interval will progressively help to reliquefy the heavier oil residue that’s plugging up your engine’s oil flow. If high miles, you may also be dealing with worn compression rings that would allow oil to end up in the combustion chambers. In any case, keep adding High Mileage to your oil each interval and pay attention to oil consumption.

Can I put Sea Foam in a 2013 KIA Sorento?
Yes, you can use Sea Foam Motor Treatment in A 2013 KIA Sorento. It’s compatible with that model. Just follow the instructions on the can.
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 made specifically for stubborn residues and deposits in higher-mileage vehicles. It’s a great cleaner!
Prior to changing my transmission oil and filter, can I add regular Sea Foam to my transmission fluid and drive it for 100 miles to clean it? My pan holds 7 quarts.
Good question, Charlie. Use Sea Foam Trans Tune for that – it’s made for transmission fluid systems and cleans fluid varnish, just like Sea Foam. You can find it at any auto parts store. Just follow the directions on the can (add the whole can to your transmission fluid reservoir and drive for 100 miles, just like you said).
Hope that helps and let me know if you have any other questions!
