Seamfoam'd the camry, and barely any smoke?

Used about 1/4 (a little bit more than a 1/4 of the bottle) and left it for 10 mins. The car started up fine no hesitation, ran perfect, no smoke, until I drove, when I drove it some smoke came out but nothing to the affect of what I've seen on these boards. Should I do it again?

I know one TN member, Svanzy Ya, did a whole video tutorial for the Gen 3...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhPsL-6VjLc

I dont know much about the Gen4, but I'm guessing it's in the same general area; i know it was about the same area with my Chrysler minivan.

I also made a video about it, but I wouldnt consider it a DIY: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9oyg...elated&search=

I use the line from the brake booster.

OK, instead of the brake booster line wher else can the seafoam be inhaled by the engine...and is it ok to use more than 1/3?

just use the Brake Booster line only ... everything else is overkill and youre not gonna get ridiculously great results ... at most it will make a fraction of a percentage of difference in your effciency

I'm trying to add 1/3 into the crankcase.

Should I pour it in while the enging is off? How many KM or Miles should I drive, with seafoam in, until a oil change?

I'm trying to first pour 1/3 into crankcase and 1/3 into gas tank. Then after enough milage I will use the rest at brake booster. Afterall that an instant oil change.
