My mower with a 17hp BS single cylinder engine has been burning a lot of oil the last couple months. It would use about three pints while mowing a bit less than two acres. I was talking to a friend about it, and he asked me if I used Seafoam. I've used it as a fuel stabilizer before, but didn't know that much about it. "Try it," he said.
So I bought a can and added some to the gas, a couple ounces to the oil, and poured a little in the carb while the engine was running, just like the can said. I shut it off and left it sit for about fifteen minutes and then mowed. When I was done I did the same thing. I added almost all the rest to the crankcase, then started it up and dumped more down the carb until it quit, like fogging oil.
Next time I used it the crankcase was a bit overfilled from the Seafoam I dumped in. Next time it was right at the full mark. Today it was just under full. I'm gonna change the oil and filter before I use it again.
I've never wasted money on magic potions before. This $9 can of liquid wonder cut my oil consumption to almost zero. WTF is this stuff?
