Sea Foam used (as directed) in crankcase oil dries moisture and re-liquefies old oil residue. Sea Foam can be used as a pre service cleaner and as an after service additive with no affect on plastics, composites, aluminum, steel, gaskets, seals, or any other manufacturer supplied component.

You can NOT run any engine crankcase on pure Sea Foam, even though Sea Foam is 100% petroleum blended oil. A premium QUALITY oil, Sea Foam was not engineered to supply the film strength of a (made for) crankcase-use oil, like Mobil 1 synthetic or your basic Valvoline, Havoline or Pennzoil does.
When Sea Foam is applied to crankcase oil at 1 1/2 ounces Sea Foam per quart of crankcase oil (see product container), Sea Foam DOES NOT affect the viscosity or lubricating properties of that crankcase oil to which it is applied, including synthetics and blends.
Please see the attached reference sheet on using Sea Foam in Oil.

Sea Foam Motor Treatment used in Crankcase oil
All Gasoline and Diesel, Rotary style engines
Sea Foam may be used in an oil crankcase 2 separate ways, depending on your needs and expectations.
Sea Foam is most commonly used as a pre service old oil residue cleaner and moisture drier, and is also used as an after service additive.
1. As a pre service cleaner for residue, sticky rings or valve train noise, put 1 ½ ounces of Sea Foam Motor Treatment into the engine oil crankcase for EACH quart of oil capacity including filter. Drive a MINIMUM of 30 minutes/miles, MAXIMUM 100 miles, then do your oil change service (LOF). This begins the process of safely/slowly re liquefying the old oil residue so contaminants may flow and be filtered. This also makes your old oil dirtier, quickly, so a LOF service is necessary when the oil gets dirty.
2. As an after service additive into fresh oil, nearly fresh oil, or oil (used condition) that is NOT ready to be changed (by mileage), put the same amount as above, then SELF SET a program to MONITOR your oil for color and clarity on a mileage, timed, or event basis (like every time you add fuel, etc.) to determine when an oil service is necessary.
Sea Foam will safely and slowly re liquefy old oil residue, so it will probably make your oil need changing BEFORE your normal scheduled LOF service. Only your monitoring of the oil for color and clarity can tell when it is time to do oil service, or 3,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Check your oil level and monitor the color for needed service!
unplug the hose coming from the pvc into the intake mani & pour in 1/4th of the seafoam bottle then let it sit for a min or so, then plug the hose back in and start the car,let it burn until you don't see any white smoke and that's it........as far as the rest of the bottle you can pour into the gas tank........hope it helps you out
Yeah what he said but here is a more thorough step by step for those of you out there that are challenged...
1. start car
2. remove rubber PCV hose from hard line (opposite end of PCV valve)
3. use a styrofoam cup and pour 5.3 oz of Seafoam into the cup
4. you can either dip the PCV hose into the cup so that it sucks the liquid up a little bit at a time or pour it slowly into the hose (make sure to keep the car from stalling)
5. shut off car
6. wait 5 minutes
7. re-install PCV hose
8. turn car back on
9. watch white smoke pour from exhaust
10. take car for a spirited drive with a few WOT pulls

11. done
forgot one step (re-installing the hose).......I fixed it for you
Plan on doing this tommorow, thanks guys. I wanna put some in my gas tank. Can I do it at the same time that I do the intake manifold? Or do I have to pour it in, wait, run it, drive it, THEN repeat with gas tank?
the whole bottle in the oil or you can do half on the oil & half on the tank (depends on you)......as far as the pcv method.......just follow the instruction either on the label or the on here

after you shut the car down & reconnect the pcv hose you can pour the rest in the tank
