      I put a about 3 oz. in crankcase and about one in the intake and the rest in the gastank. I did put some more gas but now I am hearing that I should have put most of it into the inkake.

        WHOA WHOA WHOA! Start reading instructions!

        You are NOT supposed to run with that stuff in your oil and drive normal. It's just to put in there and let it swash around at IDLE right before you change your oil!!!

          Seafoam is some great stuff, pull a vacum hose off and let the engine draw a bunch in 'till it wants to die, shut engine off for five minutes, fire up and watch the smoke roll out! I wouldn't recomend driving with sea' in the oil though, better to use auto tranny oil for that, nice and mild way of cleaning.

            yea, you need an oil change after you add seafoam to your oil.

              Ok. I only drove 1 day before I changed my oil. speaking of that anybody realized that our oil filter is in the most gayest place on the car. I got oil all over the down pipe and a drop fell in my nose.

                  Oil up in ur nose? That's some funny shyt Sry. Seafoam works wonders. I put a whole can in the gas and cleans the shyt out of things. I wouldn't recommend doing it alot though.

                            1 day before the change or about 10-20 miles is what I do with seafoam. You should have put more in the intake, but you can always buy another bottle and run it through there.

                            Oil filter I have come to learn is not really in that bad a spot. If you use an OEM filter, which are longer and narrower than the ones you get at advance it is very easy to reach up and unscrew it. I always lay a good foot to the side though, to prevent the oil in the face. And when it comes unscrewed I point the end of it up so I don't spill any more oil.
