[QUOTE="OhIIICobra, post: 14774917, member: 33388"] A friend of mine who is a vette guy was debating with me about the necessity to clean my 2011 5.0 crankcase. He says it is needed due to my storage history. My 2011 has 7,000 miles. It gets an oil change every year, Mobil 1 synthetic and filter. I had a year period where it was "garaged" in a storage unit because I was moving and didn't want it parked outside. I made it a point to take it on a 20 to 30 minute drive every 2 weeks or so during that year until I had a home with a 3 car garage. My friend is trying to tell me that my engine likely has sludge and needs a crankcase cleaner. His vette is basically a garage queen and he seafoams his crankcase all the time. I'm telling him that I don't see the benefit in me even seafoaming the crankcase at all with my low mileage. My oil looked like new every time it was changed, pretty sure my internals are sparkling clean. Am I wrong? I've only ever used seafoam in my PVC on higher mileage cars. Do you guys ever use it in your crankcase as a preventive measure? Seem like overkill in my scenario. [/QUOTE]
