My acura is at 281k. Do you throw in some engine cleaner from time to time and what one? Also fuel lines cleaner and intake cleaner.

After checking a few videos, Chris fix and Fleet farm, look to me that actually oil additives do its job and Seafoam is not necessary till you can hear some knocking in engine.

How much I gather so far engine oil has additives that should do Seafoam job. And fuel has additives for fuel lines to.

Seafoam helped limp me through a season of lawn mowing, on a clogged Briggs 281707 engine carburetor, until I could rebuild it.

SeaFoam works, and it's not expensive.
