Honda Civic Fuel, Oil, Cleaners & Other MaintenanceExtending the life of your Honda Civic requires the proper fuel, oil, and cleaners, along with other regularly scheduled maintenance. Keep your Honda Civic fuel and oil at the right levels to keep your Civic on the road longer.
Seafoam is a good product, but very harsh. Run FP60 every tank to clean the carbon up and keep it away. Treat the fuel not just the resulting carbon.
S2000man01, FP60 is very different than other cleaners and usually I'd agree with you. Companies and cities are adding FP60 to fuel storage tanks before the fuel is pumped and we are now packaging and selling to individual customers. These products are nothing like what is available.
Seafoam is very good! I just did the full treatment on my 94 Miata, the previous owner must have driven like a granny becaus the engine was all gunked up. She runs like a top now, so I would definately reccommend the seafoam treatment to anyone with an old car that has carbon deposits.
Now for a new car an 'italian tune up' should be fine, I doubt unless your driving around town going 20mph in 3rd that you have enough carbon deposits to need any kind of angine cleaner.

i put it in our old ass 88 camry. was running a little slugish and had a pretty harsh idle. stuck that in thro the brake booster line that runs to the intake manifold. nd man did it smooth out my idle, saw a little mileage gain(cars a gas guzzler nd u can see a diff), and ran a bit more better.
s2000man01: i wouldnt say i wouldnt puit anything into your engine but its really wat you think. i really dont think u would need to put seafoam into a new or low mileage engine but def on a high mileage engine. that i would agree
if u do plan on doin seafoam find a diy on how to do it just dont think you know how to unless uve done it before then its all good. but find how to do it and go for it
when i said dont put anything into your engine, i was referring to that guy on the srt4 forum who took his valve cover off, spark plugs out, and sprayed seafoam cleaner into his engine.

i was not referring to fuel treatments.
lol. sorry i should have clarified.
haha I know, I was jk ... I wasn't making fun of you though ;P
I remember the srt4 guy who couldn't get his drain plug out, so he started his engine with no oil filter to drain the oil. I love those guys!
FP60 is a fuel system cleaner that does all you need. No need to seafoam or techron, or anything else. Use FP60 and it will not only remove carbon, but it treats the fuel itself.
