fastbird232 Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 If I'm just sucking it through the vacuum line, do I still have to change the oil? I will not be putting it in the crank case, I just want to clean the intake and whatnot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastbird232 Posted October 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 In no way whatsoever did that answer my question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robby1870 Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 If you're not putting in the crankcase I dont think changing the oil would be necessary. Might be a good idea considering you will get some blow by, but I dont think it would be necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbird232 Posted October 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 The blow by was exactly my concern, but since I just changed the oil 500 miles ago, I didn't want to do it again. But this high idle problem is starting to bother me, and as far as I know, it's never been foamed in it's 178,000 mile life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robby1870 Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Maybe wait til its time for the next oil change to sea foam it? I've never sea foamed mine and its at 178k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbird232 Posted October 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 I would, but I can tell the weather likely won't hold out until then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 I changed the oil on my Sonoma and did Sea Foam right after the oil change. The car smoked like a mother fucker! Thick gray smoke, my dad was like "owww man." The fucker barely started after that, and died multiple times after I took it out. I had to keep my foot on the pedal at some lights, till it finally calmed down. Yeah, I need to change my plugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
