The previous owner i bought my car from used small amount of seafoam like 1 ounce in the whole 6.5 QT oil capacity.
He says he ran it for 3000 miles and the seafoam "cleans" the seals and removes the gunk and therefore the Valve covers are leaking. (which im OK WITH)
MY real question is will the engine suffer any additional damage besides the leaking valve covers?
He used only 1 and 1.5 ounce MAX for about 2000-3000 miles.
I believe seafoam calls for 1 ounce or 1.5 ounce per quart capacity.
I ask because im seeing a higher oil consumption. The cars burned 1QT of 5w-40 rotella t6 in 2100 miles.
No exhaust smokes or power loss at all.
He also said he "flushed" the seafoam with rotella t6 for 200 miles and put new rotella t6.
CAR is a 2001 passat 2.8 v6 same as audi 2.8
