Seafoam Action

Soooo... after doing some reading here, I decided to seafoam my car, after the seafoam she idles like a champ, purrs like a kitten, and pulls like a raped ape yet again. I didn't have any issues with the car, she just felt a lil bit off.

I've done mine twice 10k & 30k, both times it smoked a bunch. I changed out my spark plugs @ 30k (untuned). It threw a 2nd cylinder misfire code second time around, I think I put it in the system a little to quick. It cleared after a couple of days and still runs great.

You're not even supposed to drive aggressively. Let the car idle for 10 minutes, then drive like a normal person to make sure anything left over get through.

You guys are changing your oil and swapping to new spark plugs after seafoaming, correct?

The only time you'd change the oil is if you seafoamed the oil reservoir, most just seafoam the gas tank and exhaust.

I'm talking about if you run it through a vacuum line.

Seafoaming has been known to foul plugs. Just saying. Plugs are pretty inexpensive anyways so it wouldn't hurt.
