If you are determined to use fuel additives, please, make sure you do this on the last tank of fuel BEFORE you do an oil change! You will thank me later!  |

That's how you're supposed to use sea foam---put it into the throttle-body/carb intake (if you have one), have it sucked in via vacuum hose, then put the remainder in the oil. After all the huge smoke clouds go away, get your oil changed.
