Anyone else tried this on their Vibe? If so, did you do all 3 steps (Intake (1/3 can), Fuel Tank (1/3 can) and crankcase (1/3 can prior to oil change). I was thinking of only doing the intake and fuel tank since I recently had my oil changed. Did you notice any benefits? (smoother engine, better acceleration, better mileage)?Thanks

'14 Lincoln MXZ AWD 2.0 Turbo
'14 Nissan Pathfinder AWD SL
'05 Pontiac Vibe AWD
I just use a good strong dose in the tank. As lean as modern EFI ECU controlled engines run, carbon build-up just isn't an issue. I also do frequent oil changes (synthetic) so sludge build-up is also not an issue.
I've never used it in my Vibe, but I did use it in an old motorcycle that had been sitting for a few years. I had a few nasty backfires with the first half tank of gas, but after that, the bike ran much better.
I used to use Seafoam quite a bit, then I realized techron does the same thing. After some reading, i saw Seafoam doesnt have spectacular ingredients and about half of it is pale oil. I did the same seafoam steps but replaced it with a bottle of concentrate techron & got the white smoke effects also.But I got the best results by taking out the spark plugs and pouring techron right into the cylinders. Then I cranked the engine to let it slush around a bit for a few seconds, replaced the plugs & blew out some white smoke for 5 min.
