Here is a copy of some info from a motorcycle forum were the question was " Can I leave seafoam in my oil " Sea Foam is an OIL PRODUCT, not a chemical, so do not worry about any secondary affects. Have you used Sea Foam in your fuel?, Read the attachments for more information. If your bikes engine began to create enough residue to "STICK" part of your valve train, IT IS TIME TO GET THAT OLD OIL OUT OF THERE! Yes, the Sea Foam cleans the old deteriorated oil back to liquid, but your crankcase oil will quickly make more residue, your oil has reached the end of its SERVICEABLE LIFE! Change your oil, read the attachment I have given on CRANKCASE OIL, treat the NEW oil with Sea Foam at 1 1/2 ounces per quart of oil capacity, then MONITOR YOUR OIL and change it when it gets dirty. Oil is still cheaper than an engine! Thanks for using Sea Foam! Attachments with the reply: Attachment 1: Sea Foam Motor Treatment used in Crankcase Oil All Gasoline and Diesel, Rotary style engines Sea Foam Motor Treatment is a Blended Petroleum Product, NOT A CHEMICAL and is widely used as an old oil residue cleaner and moisture drier in any oil crankcase. Sea Foam Motor Treatment is most commonly used as a pre service, old oil residue re-liquefier / cleaner and moisture drier, and is also used as an after service additive. Sea Foam Motor Treatment does NOT add significantly to oil volume, so removing oil is NOT required for use, when used according to printed directions on the product container. 1. As a PRE SERVICE CLEANER for old oil residue, (sticky rings or valve train noise), pour 1 ½ ounces of Sea Foam Motor Treatment into the engine oil crankcase for EACH quart of crankcase oil capacity including filter. (Diesels use 1 pint Sea Foam to 4 gallons of oil, please.) Drive a MINIMUM of 30 minutes/miles, MAXIMUM 100 miles, and then do your oil change service (LOF). This is the process of safely/slowly re liquefying the old oil residue so contaminants may flow and be filtered. This also makes your old oil dirtier, quickly, so a LOF service is necessary when the oil gets dirty. Great for Turbocharged & Supercharged applications where hot oils deteriorate so quickly due to heat, and leaves those residues that NEED CLEANING. (LOF = Lube oil & Filter service = OIL CHANGE). 2. As an AFTER SERVICE ADDITIVE into fresh oil, nearly fresh oil, or oil (used condition) that is NOT ready to be changed (by mileage), put 1 ½ ounces Sea Foam Motor Treatment into the crankcase per quart of capacity as described above, then SELF SET a program to MONITOR your oil for level, color and clarity on a mileage, timed, or event basis (like every time you add fuel, etc.) to determine when an oil service is necessary. (LOF) When the oil gets dirty, CHANGE IT! Sea Foam Motor Treatment will safely and slowly re liquefy old oil residue, This will make your oil need changing BEFORE your normal scheduled LOF service. Only your monitoring of the oil for color and clarity can tell when it is time to do LOF - oil change service, or 3,000 miles, whichever comes first. Synthetic oils, both blends and 100%, were engineered and are manufactured to be 100% compatible with petroleum based oils, all brands, and vice/versa. Without compatibility, oil manufacturers and engineers would be liable for the results of mixing non-compatible lubricants. Check your oil; monitor its level, color & clarity to determine need for LOF service! Change your oil when it gets dirty! Technical Services Department May 2008 DD Sea Foam Sales Company Attachment 2: Sea Foam Uses in Fuels Sea Foam Motor Treatment #’s SF-16 (16 ounce), SF-128 (gallon container) and SF-55 (a 55 gallon drum) is used as a fuel additive in Gasoline, Ethanol Blends, Gas/oil mixes & ALL Diesel fuels. This includes all brands and qualities of available fuels. When added to these fuels, Sea Foam Motor Treatment was specifically designed to Safely do five (5) simple tasks for you. They are: 1. Sea Foam Motor Treatment is a 100% blended petroleum product. That means Sea Foam is OIL, so adding Sea Foam to ANY fuel, adds lubricity to Fuel systems, Induction systems (Including Drawn through Supercharged applications), upper cylinders, fuel pumps, and related fuel system & Exhaust (Turbocharged) components. All fuels lack “Protecting” lubrication, Advantage: “Sea Foam”. 2. Sea Foam Motor Treatment contains an oil component that dries fuel system moisture. Moisture breaks down into its basic components of hydrogen and oxygen when Sea Foam Motor Treatment is added to any of the above listed fuels, allowing Sea Foam Motor Treatment to help eliminate problems caused by moisture, like diesel fuel gelling and poor run .Advantage: “Sea Foam”. 3. Sea Foam Motor Treatment contains an oil based high detergent fuel residue cleaner. Using Sea Foam Motor Treatment in your fuel system makes that old fuel residue safely back into liquid. Moisture becomes a “non issue” and allows contaminants to be filtered, as engineered by the manufacturer. Advantage: “Sea Foam”. 4. Sea Foam Motor Treatments exclusive formula is blended specifically to clean carbon out of the engine as the engine is run. This is accomplished by our cleaning oil formula eliminating old sticky oil residue that holds carbon and allowing that carbon to flow out of the engine dust particle by dust particle. Advantage: “Sea Foam”. 5. Sea Foam Motor Treatment adds volatility to fuel and slows down the rate at which that fuel looses its ability to properly burn. When added to fuel and the fuel is in properly sealed containers or fuel systems, per printed container instructions, Sea Foam Motor Treatment is a fuel stabilizer for up to 2 years. Always run the engine for a long enough period of time to assure the entire system is protected. Advantage: “Sea Foam”. Technical Services Department Sea Foam Sales Company Updated May, 2008 DD Last Attachment: Sea Foam Amounts in Fuel 4 Cycle Type Engines Diesel Rotary (Wankel) 2 Cycle type Engines Sea Foam Products recommends an average of 1 ounce Sea Foam Motor Treatment to each gallon of Gasoline (including 10% & 15% ethanol) and Diesel fuel (including low sulfur & Ultra Low Sulfur blends). With any vehicle or system FACTORY DESIGNED for E-85 fuel, use 2 ounces Sea foam per gallon of the fuel. Parameters are: 1 – 16 ounce can of Sea Foam Motor Treatment to a MINIMUM of 8 gallons of fuel, Maximum 25 gallons fuel to a 16 ounce can for maintenance. Follow the instructions above for OIL INJECTED engines also. (NO Sea Foam Motor Treatment ever goes into the oil reserve tank for oil injection). ***For all gas/oil mixed fuels (2 cycle) and E-85 Ethanol to be used in systems NOT specifically factory designed for E-85 fuels, DOUBLE the amount of Sea Foam Motor Treatment used per gallon. Sea Foam Motor Treatment is blended OIL, and will not run a gasoline, Gas/oil mix or Ethanol engine without introducing HYDROCARBONS (gasoline / ethanol) to the mixture at a minimum 50%. Fuel injector cleaning machines in a controlled environment use Sea Foam Motor Treatment as their safe Cleaning agent mixed with gasoline or ethanol blend at a ratio of 50% Gasoline/Ethanol blend & 50% Sea Foam Motor Treatment.

I use SeaFoam and it works great if your carbs are not full of gunk and the jets are not closed off. It is good for minor varnish but will not remove insolubles from your fuel system. Their is nothing like removing and cleaning all of the orifices and passages to get a motor running correctly. Art

Heres a hint bud get her a silver swimsuit and fish hook earrings to wear while tubing...... Really nice boat it looks like a great choice for the small and larger lakes around you. Art

Cliff I am a big fan of the Lowrance units. I Like the big screen units for a different reason. If you decide to get radar for the unit and you want to split screen it with the plotter the smaller screens will only allow you to do one or the other. I have used the split screen and with the both of them you can see your position of your boat and also actual reflections that I.D. other boats and reflection devices. It also lets you see more of a split screen graph/ plotter. Art

You have always been my hero Bernie. I am very happy that you are just a PM away to answer all of my auto questions. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with all of us. Art

You nailed BM... They found that the flares that are kept out of the humidity have a high success rate even if they are expired. I have 18 flares on board and hope I never need one of them but when the weather is bad and viability is minimum the more the merrier I say. Art

Thank you for the well wishes. I am off to a party at daplummas house... I guess I will dig out a few fireworks to make joes life interesting. Art

Happy birthday bud I am sorry I missed it this year. Art

You will most likely get better responses if you were to trade info instead of kind of wording your posts as a demand. You also will find that this is a busy weekend with bass opening and the Lak Air G2G going on. What I have found in the past is it takes time for someone to type out any response to a question so putting a little honey in their like "please" or who wants to join me for a fishin trip and I will buy the gas and the coffee or something along those lines. I have also found that trading information is a good way to get information like if their is a little lake in the area were you have had good luck and you clue them in on that water then they will be more inclined to clue you in on their water. The last thing is that you are just 4 posts into your life here at OFC and so far you have posted to ask for info and complain that you didnt get it.The other two I didn't look up. So go ahead and take a trip and use the camera and post a fishin report and then at the base ask for advise on the water and you will find people are more likely to share their hard won info on the body of water. As far as info on the water I don't have any because I live in USA and have fished a limited amount of places in Canada but as your posts become more of a sharing nature I will be happy to speak up on the ones I do know. This is not intended to be negative just a few tips that will make you hopefully a long time active member of this board. Art

You can bet your ass you ain't never going to see that happen GCD with all of the crap DR salvemyanus puts on the internet. LOL Art aka Aplumma

Take two of them orally with a glass of water.... o wait I'm sorry that is what it said on the medicine bottle. The answer "garden spider is correct. Art

Good catch that is a nice Channel cat their. Thanks for returning her to the water they are in the spawn up their now and stock like that is a good thing to have. Art

He said he wants to grow grass not get a girlfriend...... ooops maybe I said to much here. Have a great trip I hope you get the big fish. Art

Why in the hell are you all rifting someone for opening up a fish and checking out something that has a legend behind it. He decided to see what was inside of the fish and then shared it with all of us curing my and others interest in what the stones look like. It is healthy to want to see what is inside of or over the next hill... it is called curiosity and along with having thumbs it is what makes us top of the food chain. For all who say nay then you have not enough curiosity and are doomed to be sheep and follow blindly for the rest of your unadventurous lives. All of this over one fish's life... go fishin folks Art

Now it ain't up to me to cast a stone but....... I'm a plumber and I have never had white stuff on my shirt that looks like the goo on yours..... lol Want to take a stab at dispelling the goo myth again? Art

I checked on the gift thing for you and it is a felony here in the USA called Postal fraud that they are worried about. It would be pretty easy for them to get busted if they marked it on all of the packages going to Canada so you might want to ease up on the anger thinggy. If you can send it to a USA friend they can rebox it and send it forward as a gift. A word of note if you do have something reboxed make sure that it is out of the packing and looks used before they send it out if they send it with papers and a receipt or looking new Canada postal will charge them the duties and tax even if it is marked gift......(yes I did it and yes I made this mistake and the final yes he was charged) Art

try asking your brother Aplumma I heard he is a genius...... Aplumma O.K. I admit I am stumped too but I like pretending I am a genius

If I show this to pops and he got to keep the accessories I bet he would road trip with me... Don't tempt us. Art

If I was u I would sell the whole thing to Art and start out fresh with a 90HP. Don't forget my favorite boat accessory.................. brook though. Art

NOW thats funny...... Glen calling something slow. After all thats why the south lost the war." H e y Y a l l t h e m Y a n k e e e S i s f i x i n t o c ooom e o v e r t h a ....... owwwww....hill. Remember the veterans we served for all of our freedom Art

thatsa really perty boat yall got their. Congratulations to the both of you Art

I guess thats one way to see if your nose is clear. Personally I would rather use my finger.... Art

While this comment comes from the USA so how much water it holds up north is unknown. The area designated as a marina is under control and owned/leased by the harbor master or company. They have the burden of making sure that property that is on the leased slips is safe and secure from hazards and trespassing. They have the right to ask anyone that has the potential to affect these burdens to leave the area with the help of local law enforcements help as needed. This also empowers all renters with the same ability to protect the common areas property owned by other renters however they can not press charges as the harbor master can unless it is their own property being burdened. This all goes in the trash if you are lucky enough to go into a marina that is a condo/coop arrangement were the slips and yes the water/land underneath it are surveyed and taxed by the county. This arrangement is popular down here with the common area supported by the owners per slip arrangement. "No fishing" signs are not needed since it is a recognized owned structure that you are entering in too. This is not like a dock that is on the water behind the house on the lake because it is the primary structure and it's sole purpose is to house the owned property not just as an access point. I can say I am one of the people that ask you not to fish the marina because of a few people that have. Dinged the gelcoat on boats with their crankbaits, left lures hung up in covers and ropes, banged into boats to recover lures from ropes and covers, urinated on boats, left stripped line in the marina and even cleaned fish on the docks and left the blood and small parts behind. I am sure that if someones kids were misbehaving in a parking lot you would get it stopped really quick. With over 95% of the people who do respect the boats it is still the 5% who are ruining everyones chance. I am a fisherman also so I suffer with the rest of you so police your brothers and someday we might be able to fish the marina's . Art

Happy b day buddy Art

Take all the time you need. I DON'T want to see a bare bear on the beach. Art
