If you put it in the crankcase you are supposed to run it around for a few minutes then immediately change the oil.

Did the seafoam to my 94 t bird and they called the fire department on me cause they thought the neihborhood was on fire, it only had 80 k on it and smoked more than my ranger with 130k. not to take your lime light but it was worst than yours.

I poured into the sparkplug hole on a saturn with a locked up engine and into the oil fill and unlocked the motor. we drove it two days before it started to knocked to the point of no return.

I drove mine over 100 miles before I got around to changing the oil. So far nothing has happened after a few months. I only added about 2 or 3 ounces though.

Brake fluid down the carb is what I do. It is very old school but it seems to help a bit. If you use a higher octane fuel often, it is also a good idea to use some type of cleaning method.
