SEAFOAM?..... Yes or No?

Need help with this. I've gotten some comments on SEAFOAM, some are good and some not so much. I've heard that it can mess up the oxygen sensor and CAT. Any details will be helpful on whether to do it or not. Thx.

Seafoam is a cleaner and should be used for that purpose.

1/2 can in the crankcase before an oil change works very well. If you put a can in when the gas tank is empty it will clean the lines and jets and shouldn't affect any thing else.

I have used it in many vehicles including my TL and have never had a problem.

Yes. I seafoamed many cars and never had any problems. It will always work the way it should so long as you read the directions.

I have had great luck with it in my 01 TL. In fact I have 243,000 miles and I recently seafomed through the vacumn line and noticed more get up and go after doing so.

Hey Marinj87, you'll find that most 'Ziners have had positive results with "Seafoam". Do a quick search and see how folks have used the product. There are ton's of threads discussing the applications of "Seafoam".
