Hello, I've been reading up on doing seafoam on my car and have a couple questions, and also about putting Rotella T6 in since it's winter, and it gets really cold here so I really don't wanna use VR1 10w30 in these conditions.
I have unplugged the brake booster line to the intake manifold and am ready to add seafoam to the intake, but when I start my car my WB is really lean and the car idles around 700 and almost sounds like it's missing. I'm sure it's because there is excess air entering. Is this how it's supposed to be and then have someone hold the rpms at 2500-3000 while I have it suck the seafoam up? Is there an alternative way around it sputtering like that?
Next question, when using Rotella T6, I've read that it foams at higher RPMs and to use lucas oil additive. Is this true? If so, do I add 1 qt of the heavy duty oil stabilizer?
I'm really looking for specific answers to my questions as I don't want to mess this up and actually perform it correctly. I really appreciate any feedback you guys can give.
PS: I'll be doing the full seafoam treatment, so I have the new oil, OEM oil filter, and spark plugs.
