3rd Generation Lucas oil + Seafoam = disaster?

On the advice of my mechanic, I put a quart of Lucas Oil in with my oil changes every 5000 kms. I bought something similar to Seafoam (bg44k) in the sense that it goes in thru a vacuum tube and cleans out all the carbon deposits.

Since I've been doing Lucas all year, will this cleaner harm anything inside that was protected by the Lucas? I don't want to have any oil leaks as a result.
For the record, I did not have any oil leaks prior to the Lucas.

if there is a disaster, it will be caused by Lucas:

Modern oils do not require additives. Seafoam is a mix of petroleum and chemical solvents; do not see why it would or would not harm an engine with Lucas as opposed to one without it.
