I put some though my intake. Didn't notice any improvements and it only smoked a little. I wouldn't be afraid to put it into my gas but would skip the idea of putting it in my oil.

I operate a repair shop in dallas and that is what we use for the induction service on vehicles, I have ran through my truck a few times But before i'm finished i spray a can of carb cleaner through the throttle body w/ maf un-pluged while reving the engine to wash out the seafoam still in the intake, it leaves the intake clean & dry...works good.

I use to run seafoam through my brake booster line and gas tank in my GMC Sierra before every oil change... it works pretty good. Smokes out the neighborhood quite a bit! lol

well your not suppose to just pour it in the crank case and forget about it you just suppose to put it in there and some say just let the truck run for 5-10 minutes and other says to run the truck for 5-10 miles down the road and then immediately change the oil. so if i do decide to run it through the crank case ill just the truck sit still and run for a just a few minutes and then change the oil and filter

Thats why i wanted to use the seafoam because i'm do for an oil change i doubt i'll start using it every oil change but maybe every other oil change. how long do you allow your truck to operate with the seafoam in the crankcase? do you drive around a couple miles with the seafoam in or do you just let the truck sit in the yard and run for 5-10 minutes? also after you drain your oil with the seafoam do you dump a quart of oil through the motor or do you just start filling it with oil?
