Seafoam Engine Treatment

by zcpro, December 9, 2008

I've noticed rattling/knocking noise at higher RPMs in my 2000 corolla, usually right before the automatic shifts to the next gear. I have heard a lot about seafoam, but I'm a complete noob when it comes to mechanical things like engines. I'm about due for another oil change (this time I will buy an oil filter wrench cap thingy and make sure I can loosen the filter before draining the oil out of the car. I only went about 2000 miles since I didn't get to change the filter). I was wondering if seafoam treatment is easy enough for a novice like myself? Also, I see that there are multiple places to introduce the seafoam. Where would be the best place for me to put it based on my car's symptoms? Thanks!

Any update on your CEL situation Jeff?

I actually only used 1 can and still have some of it left, which will be used in the crankcase when I finally get a chance to change oil. The CEL has not come back since it was reset.

It still has not come back so I think I'm in the clear. As soon as I can, I will replace the plugs and wires, PCV valve, O2 sensor, and catalytic converter.
