I'm a skeptic on that stuff. Let us know how much better(or worse) your car runs/performs now after the Seafoam. I've heard bad stories of this stuff. Seen someone use it on a Ranger and it ran exactly the same as before.

it jacks up the spark from your plugs. mine ran worse...slower and worse gas mileage. a friend told me to change my plugs, and the car ran MUCH better. my gas mileage went from 34 to 37mpg in my 89 hatch

There are a lot of good guides on using the stuff that you can find. IF you follow any good guide they will usually start by tellin you it messes up the spark plugs and you shouldn't run it in the oil for more than 100 miles or so. Seafoam is a pretty harsh varnish solvent lol. I only seafoam when i know i have an oil change coming up and i throw new plugs in after i do the oil change. If used correctly it's very effective.

in my car there was a small difference, car felt more smoother and maybe a bit more power. Id say its worth the $9 bucks

I just put a bottle in my gas tank when I filled up. After doing that, the car ran very smooth and the idle didn't seem as loud and rough. I haven't done oil or anywhere else since that requires an oil change or spark plug change and all that and I recently did them all.
