Default Quick Seafoam question.

Do I need to change the oil shortly after if I put it in through the brake line vacuum or is that only necessary if I put it in the oil itself?

What about if I put some in the gas?

I'm very suspicious of an exhaust leak and heard I would also see the smoke coming out other places if I used it. Car is almost at 58200 miles.

yes you will see white smoke coming out of exhaust leaks if thats what your asking, and you are supposed to change the oil if you do it in the vacuum line, putting it in the gas seems kinda pointless

the brake vac line is on the passenger side of the plenum, and is the funny bent rubber line that goes into the battery area... you can use that or there is a smaller capped off port on the front left side.

I'd recomment using the smaller port because you will have less chance of stalling the motor. if you let too much seafoam in thru the brake port, it could even hydrolock...

This stuff is good. A lot of the claims for results are true. Just have to deal with the white smoke for a little.

Just have one guy slightly rev the engine. and you control the flow of the suction.

Pour the seaform in a visible container, and also as stated use the smaller vacuum port on the left intake manifold. it is capped off, place a vacuum hose on it.

Change the oil after you ran the car for awhile.
