3rd Generation Really Quick Seafoam Question!

On the seafoam bottle when it says "add to the crankcase (oil)" do I just pour the seafoam in where I would put in my oil?

One or two answers is all I need!

THanks

Yes but keep in mind your supposed to change the oil shortly after you add it. Like a few hundred miles or so. It can do more harm then good if you don't drain it out.

Cool cool. And one more quick question, after I sip the seafoam through the brake booster and let the car rest for 5 minutes, what RPM range should I keep the engine at? Does it really matter?

Also, when I add it to my gas tank is there anything special I need to do afterward like when adding it to the oil?

Thanks

It shouldn't matter what RPMs you keep the engine at after you add through the brake booster line, and after you add it to the gas all you have to do is drive.

You're suppose to let it sit for a bit, usually anywhere from 5-15 minutes. Then go out for a drive and put some load on the engine, don't just let it sit in P or N and rev it.

Is there really a difference between the two? What about doing both. There is a video on youtube.com where the kid is in Park and revs for a bit then drives until the smoke clears.

Is there an optimal way to use seafoam?
