Default Sea Foam

I'm considering doing the SeaFoam induction cleaning on my 2003 Disco.

I found this detailed information on using Seafoam and hope to get some input on the accuracy andapplicability to the Disco.

I wouldn't put it in the crankcase. Do an ATF flush. I have used 2/3rds of a can on the induction cleaning, just as described. I haven't used the deep creep on the T-body. I actually use THrottle body cleaner to get that one. Use the seafoam, clean the T-body and then do a flush with ATF.(drain oil, fill with ATF DO NOT DRIVE!! Idle for 20 min, drain and fill with your favorite oil. I would change the oil at 1K after that just to get out any ATF that may have stayed..

Viola! New Disco

Thanks,

I did the ATF flush last week per your advise. Worked well.Working on the 1000 miles to change the oil again.

Do the induaction cleaning before you change your oil. Seafoam might creep past your rings and blow out the carbon built up.

Why flush with ATF vs just another cheaper mineral oil?

ATF consists of mostly detergent. It cleans far better.
