i dunno if he is talking more about built motors that may have metal filings and shaving in the oil system after many many km's, but i thinkn facotry stock motors would have had all those filing flushed out by oil chanegs in the past.. but i dunno, he was answering a question about daily driven street use wuth occasional track use...
...i think he knows what he is talking about... but he did mention that he never uses them and preaches against them, and reccomends chanign your tranny oil everytime you change the motor oil, as the tranny oil jsut sits there, and the motor oil actually get presurised, filtered and cooled, where the tranny oil jsut sits there and boils...

If you want to get rid of sludge in your engine safely, use a 15W40 mineral oil (due to the higher detergent package) and change at a shorter interval. This will prevent issues due to to using harsh flush chemicals which may bring down the sludge too quickly and clog oil passages and even the oil filter.
If you want to service your intake system, there are many easily available products for that.
No need to suffer yourself for Seafoam.
