Seafoam?

Interesting. I can't imagine a rental company is doing much maintenance.

Rental companies are much better about maintenance than Joe Schmoe off the street.

I honestly have no idea.

The name of the dealership is familiar. I think there's at least one other horror story about them on here.

They did me right when I bought my truck. I bought a truck from them and after I got it home I realized I had purchased the wrong engine. I went back the next day knowing full well that they were under no obligation to help me fix my mistake. They undid the deal and found me a truck that not only fit the criteria that I was looking for, but was a much better deal. I have been more than happy with my experience from ALM.

Seafoam is good stuff but not that good. If it is still running I would run it for a hour or so and change the oil again then drive it some to see if the motor is making any death rattles,if not drive it until it dies.

I think if Seafoam could do what the board poster claimed it could it be priced at $300 per can minimum.

If there are metal filings in the oil, the oil pump strainer is probably restricted. The oil pan would need to be removed and cleaned out also.

Seafoam will get the dregs out of the pan. Thats about it.

Is it knocking or still showing low oil pressure?

Seafoam is a cleaner. I'd use the seafoam anyway and add Restore to the crankcase when you change the oil

Donate your car to Project Farm on youtube. He can do a thorough seafoam test on it.
