Yeap.
Will be puttin' the Seafoam in the crankcase to loosen up the crude in the oil.

**Tip: when you do in the master cylinder to the intake manifold be sure to keep away from traffic cause you will freak people out on the streets. :lol: :lol:

Dumping seafoam in the oil and gas tank that would scare me. During the summer I just sprayed it in the intake manifold when I did mine. Is that good enough for cleaning out the throttle body? What is that vacuum line for that you guys are talking about, that you use to suck up seafoam with? When I sprayed seafoam in the trottle body, My car had a hard time starting up but I got it running and it pour white smoke out the exhaust too. Did your cars do that too?

Your suppose to do it with two people and have someone rev it up so your car won't die. . . if it dies that is close to having it hydrolock. . . your lucky to not bend any valves. . . Yes it is suppose to have white smoke

do you have to do it all at the same time, like can you run the seafoam in the intake and gas, then do the oil later when you need the oil change? i was thinkin about doin this tomorrow but i technically dont need an oil change for a while. also when i do the intake and fuel i will change the plugs out, putting the seafoam in the oil later wont screw the new plugs up will it?

im figuring that runnin it threw the intake will probably make my oil nasty so it will need a changing anyway even if it has 2k left on it???

so my gut instinct is tellin me to just do it all at once i just wanted to be sure... sorry for posting twice in a row didnt think of that question till after, lol

Running it through the intake will not hit the oil. . . It will be traveling through the vavles and exit through the exhaust so there shouldn't be any oil in there in the first place or else you would have problems with the engine. . . You can do the intake and fuel than do the oil later before changing the oil. . . I suggest you run the Sea Foam in there for 50 miles before the oil change. . . so it will get a good cleaning but when you have it I don't suggest hard acceleration or driving over 65 on the highway cause Sea Foam does make the oil hella watery so you don't want to be pushing the car with it in your oil

Thanks i was thinkin' about puttin' it in about 50 miles before i change oil.
Thanks for confirmin' my guess.

Yeah as for the intake you just need to be in the open and have the exhaust face the direction the wind it blownin' away from the engine bay.
So that way you don't have the windin' blowin' the carbon gases in your face while you SeaFoam.
