SF isn't really that harsh for what it is but I wouldn't use it regularly on a low mileage engine. I don't think it'll hurt if you spray a few.

Well ultimately it's your call. I think if you're taking good care of your Fit maintenance wise you shouldn't consider it until you hit the 100k mark!

I say, why wait until 100k?

If you wait until things buildup in the engine, then you'll just knock more loose. Why not use the SeaFoam every 30k so nothing builds up. I think this guy is on the correct path.

My opinion is proper maintanence and good quality fuel and you won't need something like seafoam until 100k.
