Re: Change Your Oil
For the person asking about running something like seafoam in your crankcase until the next oil change, this is a bad idea.
While most of the products are made to be compatible with motor oils and things, they are extremely thin and will effectively lower your overall viscosity, which will in turn keep your oil from doing what it is designed to do. As Blaine mentioned, they can help you get a good cleaning on a neglected motor, but they need to be used in moderation. Like of it like pouring in acidic-water. It's going to clean stuff quickly and it's also going to make your oil like water too. Don't spend too much time riding around with that stuff in your crankcase.
