About to hit 80k on my G Sedan. Owned for 2 years and have never been to the dealer for routine maintenance (I do it all my self). I will however take it to Infiniti to have them lubricate the chasis and clean & readjust my parking brakes.

Anywho, I have a question regarding Seafoam. I watched Bythabay's video on cleaning the throttle body and read alot of posts of people screwing theirs up in the process of cleaning it. Has anyone any experience with using Seafoam as an alternative? I want to put it in the crankcase, throttle, and gas tank. If I use Seafoam, I wouldn't need to disassemble my TB to clean it manually; therefore greatly decreasing my chances of damaging it.

Any info from someone with first or even second hand experience is greatly appreciated!!

I would be very very careful about seafoam in the crank case. But it's fine in the intake or fuel.

Just saw it as a DIY on InfinitiHelp and wanted to see if it's necessary.
Anyjuan?

the rims are not the normal ones that came on the 05/06 sedans but they are OEM chromed ones that the dealer installed before the car was sold brand new.
and they're 17's so I doubt that's the issue

Seafoam in the crank case is fine but for a really short distance, <100 miles. It thins out the oil.

If you run good oil it has cleaning agents in the oil already so I dont see a need to put anything into the crank Case.

For the fuel their are better products then seafoam. aka Redline Si- 1

For the intake, There is seafoam and Amsoil stuff, but other then that there arent any other good products.

I personally don't think so. Do you do the regular drain and fill maintenance? I would say unless you track the car, which I know you don't , you don't need one. Even then it's really not necessary.

Oh yeah, and to the SeaFoam guy: just make sure if you use deep-creep (the stuff in the can) you don't spray the plastic straw into your manifold like one idiot did
