(here we go with another seafoam thread)
It wouldn't hurt if you do it corectly (thru the brake booster). You can run 1/2 the can thru the brake booster line letting the engine suck it in; and put the rest in the gas tank.
People have advised not to put it into the crankcase because it really eats up the bearings. (especially if you don't change your oil right away). If you want a good engine treatment, get AUTO-RX

the brake booster is the round black metal thingy on the driver's side of the firewall under the hood. The master cylinder that holds the brake fluid goes into it.
If you're gonna use seafoam, change your oil within a couple of days.

the general conscensus on here is that it doesn't do squat, and actually eats away @ bearings if you put it in the crankcase and/or don't change the oil afterwards. I think that if you REALLY want something that's SAFE and WORKS, get AUto-RX.

I've done extensive research on here before doing this a year ago. You really have no idea how many threads about seafoam i've seen. I used it, but i can't reccomend it because it doesn't do jack squat.
THe only PROVEN products that work are:
-Techron Fuel system treatment (for clean the entire fuel system safely)
-Auto-RX for engine cleaning
PERIOD!!

Have you ever used it? I have used seafoam deep creep to clean the iacv and throttle body with excellent results. However, recently I put 1 can of seafoam into my gas tank and 200 miles later the car started acting up. I did some research and found out that my spark plugs may have been fouled from all the sludge that seafoam had dissolved. Today I checked the plugs and sure enough they were fouled. I changed the plugs and now the car drives better than ever.

Noobs?
Look who's talking. You haven't even been a member of this org for a year yet.
If you don't have anything to say about the topic then don't comment. You just end up adding crap to the thread. Also, I have searched all of the threads on seafoam and they are all bogus or incomplete. Oh yeah, this thread is only a few months old and your getting your panties all twisted up about me diggin this thread up? Stop reading the seafoam threads if they make you so sick.
