I used it on a 2012 Dodge Journey 2.4 L inline four. The engine had ove 100k on it. I sensed some improvement in driveability, less surging and smoother idle. Don't remember if mileage improved or not. I put some in the tank and also sprayed it into the air inlet before the throttle plate.

The best stuff to bring back compression and remove carbon is Kleenflo Combustion Chamber. The Seafoam stuff is overated.

I toss it in here & there on baseball-like superstition. Can’t say I can tell that it really helps.

Here in CA I toss Chevron Techron in my fuel injected cars too. More or less on superstition. I’ve nothing empirical to go on.

But then we all have the sauces we believe in.

I’ve recently begun adding Lucas Oil additive to my oil changes in place of 1 of 5 quarts of oil. It didn’t make anything worse, but I can’t feel the difference.

I wish I could see or feel that these things make a difference, but so far I’m at “Well, it didn’t hurt”.

I used the SeaFoam spray by Oldsguy's suggestion in my 96 98. It stabilized the idle and improved driveability. Of course, the right thing to do would be to remove the throttle body and injectors to desludge them. For $20 though...

I put the liquid Seafoam in my 55' gas tank usually twice a year. Also use it several times a year in our regular daily driver 2000 era cars. Keeps crap out of everything and will not hurt anything. been using it for many years.
