Seafoam?

Before I go and ask my question, yes I did search. (And no I didn't find my answer) My buddy and I seafoamed his TL the other day and so I was curious if there was anything on our forum about it. All I found was everyone seems to do it through a brake booster line? (We fed it through a vacuum line on the TB for his TL, there was a write up on his forum) And I was wondering if someone could direct me to that line.. Plz?

pour 1/3 in your gas tank
pour 1/3 in your oil




Disconnect the hose at the arrow and suck in 1/3 of the sea foam.Turn car off for around 5 minutes.start car back up rev a little bit

there was a thread about this just a couple days ago but the post above summed up all you need to know and even included the pic. Others would tell you to search more but you got what you needed.

Thx guys. I appreciate it. I apologize for the newb-ness.

Another question, should I change my oil after since I'm pouring some of it into the oil?

Not a big deal, but the line in the pic is not the brake booster line. I believe it controls the VIAS.

Took me 30 seconds to google and find an image of the location of the brake booster line on our Maxima's...

There are also multiple how to videos on youtube on how to use it...

And yes, it is a good idea to change your oil after using Seafoam.
