This is from the Seafoam website:

Sea Foam is a blend of highly refined additive oils and is compatible with all motor oils including synthetics. It is safe for all internal engine components and will not affect any seals, gaskets or o-rings. Sea Foam cleans oil deposits and varnish in your crankcase by safely/slowly re liquefying the old oil residue so contaminants may flow and be filtered. The longer Sea Foam is in your oil the cleaner your crankcase will become. When adding Sea Foam to clean oil, for long term maintenance cleaning, you must check your oil periodically for color and clarity, when your oil looks dirty change it. Because you added cleaning oil (Sea Foam) to your oil you may have to change oil before the expected service interval.

When adding Sea Foam to dirty oil before an oil change, for best results use 1 ½ ounces per quart of oil at least 100 miles before oil is changed.

...well i be damned...for draining on the kick-stand...

..looks like that might be a more thorough drain...


..i never knew.....

LOL! You can also use this for an oil temp gauge. Sunpro makes the metric adapter so you can use a gauge to monitor your oil temp.... if you care what it is..  ;)

..i would reckon oil temp would relate to how hot your fuel mix is burning..in a air-cooled single cylinder 4t engine...

To an extent. More so with a lean condition the temp increase is in the top end with the combustion. Fuel actually cools the combustion. If you are wanting to use temp as a way of AF tuning I would use a temp terminal lug attached to the cylinder head stud, or an infrared temp gun to measure the exhaust pipe near the head.
A lean condition will cause engine oil temperature to increase to an extent. But in this application its used to monitor how hard the engine is working. My GY6 stock engine would run around 175-180 on a summer day during normal riding conditions. The temperature would increase when going up a long incline.

Gauges can catch problems before they do damage IF you monitor them and learn what they should be at. I just like gauges and LED indicators. LOL!

I haven't seen the MSDS sheet for Seafoam yet since I can't download any PDF's at the moment, but I saw this today about another product and how it compares to Sta-bil when dealing with ethanol and for storage purposes. It was interesting. It's the 5th question down:
