You can put a small amount in your oil. I ran half a can in a half gallon tank of gas, then I filled the tank up and put more seafoam in it after I filled up. I would recommend you do it on a high mile motor, runs it through your brake booster line VERY slowly or you could hyrdolock apparantly. I didn't have any problems with my motor but I've heard that it can burn your 02's out if you run too much of it at one time. I sold the motor shortly after I did it anyways but it still ran good if not better than before the Seafoam.

I know what you mean... Do you have an aftermarket FPR on the car? If so, crank the PSI up a little and go with a 1/3 if not try a 1/4. I would recommend you put about 1/3 of it in your gas tank too, but I might wait a gas fill up or twp until I ran it through the brake booster line

i'd recommend doing a search for seafoam. This has been covered numerous amounts of times just in the integra forum. I did a quick search in the archives and it came back with 26 hits, all talking about what your asking, pics, how to's, problem of hydrolocking, etc. I wouldve linked you to all the threads but that just wouldve taken too long.
