you need to change your oil immediately after putting it in, seafoam cleans so well that it thins your oil, and yes change the filter everytime you change the oil. The plugs will be fine, unless you have a bad seal and you have oil leaking in that part. Plugs are not in oil, unless you have a bad plug well seal!

Only need to change the oil if you put it your engine. Its not necessary to change the plugs. Ive done 3 cars and the plugs were clean

no need to change the plugs! they don't see oil, so way change them unless they are old?!?! "carbon deposit" has nothing to do with spark plugs, we have told him that he needs to change is oil and filter right after he uses the seafoam, because it thins your oil and burns of the impurities.

you talking about the booster line on the intake manifold? I will go find the pic, that I saw a few mins ago, it is of the brake booster line that comes of the Intake Manifold, however it was in a thread where it broke off of the Intake Manifold(Skunk2). But it should help you understand which line it is...BRB

edit: here is the picture...like I said this one broke off of someones Intake Manifold but your will be attached to the manifold.



CivicFerioViRs' picture, not mine....however if he wants me to take it down then I will.

Smart ***.

But I would have a set of spare spark plugs handy just in case. Yes, it doesn't see any oil, BUT it does see the combustion chamber that's going to be engulfed in carbon deposits once the seafoam gets working. That can foul up the plugs too.

Good luck and try to do it at night. At least the neighbors won't call the fire trucks on you...

I did quite a few searches on the net before using seafoam. A number of folks recommended driving around with the seafoam in the crankcase and changing the oil soon after. So when I used seafoam, I poured it in the crankcase, drove around for a few days (drove moderately, didn't abuse the car) and changed the oil 4-5 days later.

I you do not have to change your spark plugs after using seafoam unless they are do for a change. Sea foam can and does clean them. If you are applying seafoam to the crankcase(oil)you will have to immediatley I would run for approx. 20 miles. DO NOT OVER FILL YOUR CRANK CASE WHEN APPLYING TO OIL and do change oil filter. The can states instructins on it so it's pretty self explanitory
