Should seafoam smoke this much??

[LEOMAC23]

So i seafoamed my car today through the brake booster,and when i started it back up it smoked alot more then i thought for a car with only 65000mi on it, it blew thick white smoke for about 5 mins,then i took it for a liberal drive and it stopped.is this normal?and how long should i put it in the crankcase for if i decide to do that for a noisy lifter??

It should smoke accordingly to how much buildup and time has passed since it was last cleaned, if ever. A car at that mileage could smoke a little or a lot, all depending on how it is driven and has been driven in the past. When I did mine at 80k, it smoked heavily for a good 5 minutes and puffed for about 10 afterward. It stopped about the time I drove out of the lot.

If you're putting it into the oil, I wouldn't keep it in for over 150 miles personally. I kept mine in somewhere around 120 miles and it came out as clear as it went in. Just read the writeup about it and you'll get a fair understanding of how long to use it for and what to expect. Everything sounds normal so far. :)

Yeah my car with 95k smoked for a good ten minutes then trailed for another 10 before I took it for a drive. On the way to the highway it stopped smoking.

I think your situation is pretty normal.

As for the oil, I put it in for maybe 50 miles then took it out. I have an oil leak somewhere in my system and I didn't want to make it any worse. I think 250 miles like they said to is a bit too long.

I've heard that the Seafoam can help clear up a lifter tick but I've never had any experience with this.

I think I'm gonna go do it to my car for fun.. I think a shop had it about 5k miles before I bought it that said the TB was dirty, so says a receipt. I'll make a video if my battery isn't dead.
