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.

Can Sea Foam be used in a 2020 Jeep Cherokee 6 cylinder?
Thanks for the question! Yes, any Sea Foam product can be used in your 2020 Jeep Cherokee 6 cylinder.
Just follow the instructions on the can.
Here’s a little more info on how to use Sea Foam Motor Treatment:
- 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.
- 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.
Let me know if you have any other questions – happy to help!

Hello! Is it better to leave seafoam in a freshly changed oil or the 100-300 miles prior to changing it? Thanks!
Can I use Sea Foam in the crank case of my lawn tractor?
Thanks for the question, Lester! Yes, you can add Sea Foam to the oil of a small engine like a lawn tractor. Add 1 ounce of Sea Foam per quart of oil. We recommend adding it shortly before an oil change. Just make sure to run the tractor for a few hours with the Sea Foam in it before you change the oil. That gives the Sea Foam a chance to circulate and clean.
If I use it in my engine crank how long do I drive a car before I do a oil change if I’m using it before a oil change?
