There's also a shop at the intersection of Markham Road and Painted Post (between Ellesmere and Lawrence). there's a royal bank plaza. the auto shop is a small one that's located just north of the royal bank plaza in a corner. Sells for $10 taxed in.

CEL would be the engine light. It blinks different ways to indicate a problem.

That place on Painted Post drive, off of Markham Road.

Automotion is the store name. 10 dollars cash per can. I am thinking heading down there again to stock up my seafoams.

i seafoamed today and let me tell you, this **** works wonders. i put 1/3 in gas tank, 1/3 in crankcase, 1/3 in through vacuum line. mine only smoked a little bit going in, not much at all. then after letting it sit for 5 mins (as per instructions on can) i took it out for a drive and there was a big cloud of smoke after first gear redline, but smoke was pretty much gone after that. i've got about 75k on the engine so maybe thats why it wasnt a ****load of smoke like most people say they get. the idles is so smooth now and the rpms also shoot up smoother. vtec is nice and smooth and not as loud as before, just a more refined sound. i will definitely do this one more time to get anything i missed this time.

omg, that was my initial impression. it's like a whole new motor now. the damn things feels so fast. the revs are nice and drop more consistantly between shifts. revs shoot from idle to redline super fast when you press down on the accelerator when not in gear.

i recommend this to everyone. made a world of difference for me.

Guys, just because it smokes, doesn't mean its good.

I noticed no diff in the K24 so I gave up, it was too costly at $17/bottle (CarQuest Markham) x2 per oil change.

Your not supposed to do it every oil change, and if your motor dosnt have alot of km's on it, you wont notice a big difference because it's not gumbled up(yet).
