Hi,
I have a 2000 XJ with 180,000 miles. I've run Mobil 1 full synthetic for almost as long as I've had the Jeep.
There is a slight tick coming from the engine. I think it may be a stuck lifter, but I'm not sure. This stays even after an oil change.
This is *very* slight and doesn't seem to affect the engine. I am due for new plugs and I periodically get the engine code for the lower oxygen sensor, but this never seems to cause a problem. Acceleration maybe seems a bit slower than normal.
I am curious as to whether or not anyone has had any experience with pouring a little bit of Seafoam into the engine, either through a vacuum line to the brake booster or directly into the throttle body itself. I have seen both methods done in some Youtube videos, but I am hesitant to do it myself until I've talked to some other Jeep owners.
What is anyone's opinion on this? I know there are other products available that probably work as well as Seafoam.
Thanks a lot for any opinions!
