yes, winterizing, what is that?


seafoam ROCKS for cleaning light deposits and prepping a motor for winter/long periods of storage.

in the video it mentioned adding it to your oil, in thru the carb/vacuum line, and the rest in your tank. triple attack lol. that wasnt for storage, that was just proper usage according to the vid. but that was a car. i dont winterize, never will. just curious about usage.


i decided not to use it yet, but i will. already got the can

I dont change my oil before or after winter storage. Never have, never will. I dont see the point. I change at the recommended intervals.

Shouldn't cause a problem. I have done it before in snowblowers/lawnmowers.

no problem... I put staybil in my gas on my ZZR before I stored it... ran a can of Seafoam through (over a couple tanks) when it first came out of storage...

then again... I did loop and total it... but I'm about 80% sure that wasn't caused by the Seafoam
