So Seafoam advertises that you can put it in your engine oil to clean the oiling system in your vehicle. I was thinking of putting in my 8's oil mainly to clean the oil injectors, I am sure it can clean out anything in the oil coolers as well? Not a entire can but maybe just a quarter of a can, half of a can at most and wondering if this will do any harm to our cars? Thanks.

 

Sludging isn't a problem for us, and you can feed seafoam through the OMP lines directly to the injectors without putting it in the oil, which would cause dilution problems for several changes

+1, since the oil injection rate is so small (~2cc's in 6 minutes, which is a couple drops), seafoam in the oil is probably not going to do much.

best thing to do with the oil injector is remove and clean manually

thanks for the replies guys, I do appreciate it. However I have seen the DIY thread of cleaning the oil injectors, but that's provided that they are already taken out the engine. Is there a DIY thread of removing the oil injectors or is it so easy as to take the UIM off and there they are staring you in the face?
