      Zack I hope you don't really change your oil every 4,000 miles.

        I change my oil every 3,000 especially with the turbo. It keeps everything nice and clean. the more you change the oil the cleaner it will get over time.

          I suggested the Seafoam because he said he was goin' to do an oil change afterwards. I think they suggest on the can to do 1 at 100mi. after usein' the Seafoam, And only use 1/3 of a can in the engine, 1/3 in gas tank, & 1/3 in intake. Always follow directions, some good vids on u tube .

            I don't recall the name of the oil additive I used but it was poured into the crankcase and the engine idled for no more than 5 minutes. Then the oil is changed. So I did it at the time of an oil change. After 5 minutes the additive starts to eat into the aluminum engine block so it's important not to leave it in there any longer than 5 min. Always read the directions on the container!

              I recommend AutoRX. I bought some with doubt about how it would actually work but it cleaned the heck out of my low mile festiva that had 10 year old oil in it. Follow the directions and enjoy the increase in compression after the second oil change. Good stuff!

                  AutoRX and Seafoam are essentially the same. We're all saying the same thing; whatever you use, follow the directions. If you must use something that wasn't intended for the job (ATF, Diesel), use a very small amount.
