This must be my 20th post in the past couple weeks; I'm a complete newb. I'm on my fourth Nissan, but this time around I'm trying to maintain my car on my own (with the help of the maxima.org community) for frugality purposes, but also to learn.
I put about a half bottle of Sea Foam in my gas tank last week. Unfortunately, I didn't realize at the time that Sea Foam isn't all that it's cracked up to be. It seems the general consensus in the forum is the only fuel treatment worth it's salt is Chevron Techron. I'm eager to add it to my fuel tank, but is it a good idea to add it now since I put some Sea Foam in last week? Should I wait a bit, or am I over-thinking this?
Thanks in advance. This community has honestly exponentially increased my Maxima experience.

Dump it in....

Seafoam works great when you run half a can through the intake, gas tank not so much. I haven't tried the techron but I hear good things. I've used b12 for years in all the vehicles we have here at the house and it works great. I had a 94 isuzu pup with over 200k, pulled the injectors before I got rid of it and they looked brand new.

Have you used up the tank of gas mixed with sea foam? You're safe to add the techron into a newly filled tank of gas. After the techron mixture gets used up change the motor oil.

There is a very small chance that it will cause all the subatomic practicals to collapse in on each other, causing millions of microscopic black holes that will then consume each other untell there is a super massive balck hole, that will devour the universe untell it becomes so massive it can't fight the gravitational pull and then it also collapses In on it's self becoming so Incredibly dense and hot that it violently explodes out ending all life as we know it. But that's pretty rare

I should change my motor oil after I out Techron is the gas tank? Or did you mean change the motor oil after putting Sea Foam in the oil crankcase?
I hope you meant that latter because I just had an oil change 200 miles ago and I'm dying to use Techron.
Edit: oh, to answer your question... I used up most of the Sea Foam-treated fuel (I put about a 1/2 bottle of Sea Foam in a 1/2 tank of gas. I refilled since then.

Techron might be better but I have had good results with Seafoam. I have used it in my 300zx (miss that b!tch) my G35 and my lawnmower.

I don't think there would be any harm putting both in, as I bet they are very similar.

if you just seafoamed then chevron is not needed. they're both cleaning out your intake and injectors so y would you do the same thing again? not needed

The only harm that could possibly come from using both at once is decreased power, and only temporarily.
