OSV + Seafoam =?

[xxxxxman]

Thought I would start a new post on this as this is the time of year that everyone gets a frozen OSV. I've been thinking... Seems to me that the main cause of this problem is that there is water in the crankcase that freezes and clogs up the OSV.

I have used Seafoam in several of my other cars with good results. In one case, I had a coolant leak that flooded the oil with water. I drained it, fixed the leak and used seafoam. That was 50K miles ago.

Seafoam is supposed to bond with the water and keep it emulsified in the oil, rendering it harmless. It seems like a cheap insurance for those of us who have short commutes to work.

The problem is that there is no way for me to report back and let you know if it actually worked. If I use it and get the OSV problem, I guess I can report back. Otherwise, I'm just going to assume it is working.


Has anyone here used seafoam and still had an OSV issue?
