Sea Foam!help!!

A couple of my friends have used this new product and they all notice a difference and that there car runs smoother. No gain in power, just a better running engine. I just went out and bough some and Im not exactly sure how to use it or how much of it to use. The can says 3 different ways to inject it but idk which one would be best or if it is ok to run it through all 3. It says you can go through the crankcase,gas tank, and through a vaccume hose. Help would be appreciated, I would mainly like to know how much to use of it.Thanks

I pour 1/3 (one third) can into the gas tank. Another 1/3 can into the crankcase and use 1/3 in cup to get it sucked through brake booster line or PCV vaccum line which feeds it to the intake. Make sure to have someone hold the RPM around 3000 and then use vaccum line to suck. Let it suck little bit through pipe from cup until you feel that engine will stop. When engine is about to stop then take the pipe out from cup. Keep repeating those steps until it is all sucked in. Once all the 1/3 can sucked in stop the engine and wait 5 minutes.

After that restart your car and let it idle for 5 minutes and you will see a lot of white smoke comming out. It smells nasty too. If you had too much carbon build up in the intake then the smoke will keep coming out till you drive 5-10 miles.

After doing all this I drive another 80-100 miles and then change the oil to get rid of all the carbon that is trapped in the oil. So do this when your car is due for an oil change.

Hope this helps.

unless your going to change your oill i dont sujest putting it in the cranccase cause it thins out your oil, and your car will run kinda crappy.
