HIGH MILEAGE ENGINE MAINTENANCE

KEEPING YOUR VEHICLE ON THE ROAD LONGER

Modern vehicles are being engineered to last longer on the road, which means high mileage cars are increasingly common.

If your car has more than 75,000 miles on the odometer and you hope to keep it running for many more miles to come, proper care is crucial.

By following some key high mileage maintenance tips, you can maximize your vehicle’s longevity and keep it performing at its best.

SEA FOAM HIGH MILEAGE

SPECIALLY FORMULATED FOR VEHICLES OVER 75,000 MILES

High Mileage is specially formulated to clean stubborn deposits and residues after years of buildup. Use regularly in your fuel tank and oil crankcase to overcome and prevent common engine problems like rough engine performance, oil burning, and loss of fuel efficiency.

HIGH MILEAGE VEHICLE MAINTENANCE ESSENTIALS

Maintaining a high mileage vehicle requires attention to detail and consistent upkeep.

By following these guidelines for optimal care, you can extend your car’s lifespan and ensure peak performance. Sea Foam products are designed to help simplify this process, facilitating reliable service for years to come.

CONSISTENT OIL CHANGES

It’s important to regularly check and change your oil to keep your engine lubricated and running smoothly. It’s common for engines to begin using more oil as they age, so you might need to check more frequently and add oil between changes if it’s low.
Using Sea Foam High Mileage Motor Treatment in your crankcase is another way to help keep your engine clean, minimize long-term wear and prevent rough engine performance. Simply add one ounce of High Mileage for every quart of oil in the crankcase. For best results, add High Mileage 100 to 300 miles before your scheduled oil and filter change.

BATTERY CARE

In high mileage vehicles, attentive battery care is essential for dependable starts and consistent performance. Monitoring the battery’s charge level, cleaning its terminals and keeping a secure connection can prevent many common battery-related problems. Diligent battery maintenance not only helps avoid the inconvenience of unexpected breakdowns but also extends overall lifespan.

FUEL SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

A properly functioning fuel system helps your high mileage vehicle operate at its highest capacity. With time, deposits tend to accumulate in the fuel injectors and combustion chambers, resulting in diminished performance and decreased fuel efficiency. Using Sea Foam High Mileage helps clean these deposits, resist engine wear and sustain smooth engine operation. Just add one ounce of High Mileage per gallon of fuel. For intensified cleaning, you can increase the dosage to two ounces or more — the higher the concentration in the fuel, the better it cleans.

REGULAR FLUID CHECKS

Routinely inspecting and replacing your vehicle’s fluids is another important step in securing its longevity. This includes not only the engine oil but also coolant, transmission fluid, brake fluid and power steering fluid. Keeping these at the proper levels and replacing them when necessary ensures that all parts of your vehicle operate smoothly and reduces the risk of major repairs.

FILTER AND BELT REPLACEMENTS

Air filters, fuel filters and belts play a critical role in the performance of any vehicle. Consistently inspecting and replacing these components can prevent larger issues down the road. Unclogged filters facilitate optimal airflow and fuel delivery to your engine, while well-maintained belts ensure that all engine components function correctly.

UPPER ENGINE TREATMENT

Keeping upper engine components clean and free of deposits ensures they function the way they are supposed to. Sea Foam Spray is particularly effective in targeting and cleaning intake valves and chamber areas that traditional fuel cleaners might miss. Regular engine treatment can be instrumental in promoting smooth operation and extending the life of your engine.

TIRE CARE

Proper tire maintenance is not only crucial for safety but also for fuel efficiency. Ensuring your tires are inflated to the recommended pressure reduces rolling resistance, which means your engine doesn’t have to work as hard. Periodically checking and adjusting tire pressure can improve your high mileage vehicle’s fuel efficiency, making it a simple yet effective way to save on fuel costs and extend the life of your tires.

CONSCIOUS DRIVING HABITS

Driving habits can significantly impact the longevity and performance of high mileage cars. Avoiding aggressive driving, maintaining ideal operating temperatures and minimizing short trips can all contribute to a healthier engine. Being mindful of how you drive will help reduce wear and tear, leading to a longer-lasting vehicle.

HOW HIGH MILEAGE HELPS VEHICLES STAY ON THE ROAD LONGER

High Mileage cleans and lubricates upper engine areas to help resist long-term wear.

High Mileage works through fuel injectors and carburetors to remove harmful residues and deposits from fuel passageways, intake valves, pistons, and chamber areas after years of harmful buildup. It works in oil to clean harmful oil residues that can restrict oil flow and engine lubrication.

QUALITY OF PRODUCT

SMOOTHER IDLE AND MORE POWER!

“I drive a Toyota Matrix with 247,000 miles on it. I’m a second owner on it, and maintenance has been kept up regularly by myself but not so sure about previous owner. Like any vehicle with this many miles, it has had a bit of a rough idle. I suspected the injectors might be getting dirty and possibly need replacement. I had run other fuel system cleaners through it, but it’s always been a bit rough. After running High Mileage Sea Foam, I’ve finally got it running smoother and it even seems to have a bit more power, which with this car, every bit of that counts. Super happy with this, and will continue to use on a regular basis.”

THANK YOU SEA FOAM

“This stuff did exactly what I was hoping it would – make the engine run smoother. I have a 1992 Sidekick with 233k that is regularly abused. It’s my gambler, trailblazer, and daily driver. I added the full bottle to about 1/8th tank of fuel and drove it “normally” for about 50 miles. By the end of the trip the engine didn’t feel near as rough at idle and my throttle response seemed better. I’m overall impressed with the product and would definitely use it again! Thanks Sea Foam!”
