Default Experiences with Seafoam?

I am a newb here and did a search for seafoam and heard some interesting things about the product. I am confused with one thing thought. It says to slowly pour the liquid through the pcv valve opening while the car is running to ensure that all cylinders receive and equal amount of the product. It seems to me that this would only give one bank of cylinders the liquid because it is on one side?? Please correct me if I am wrong and any experiences with the product would be greatly appreciated.

Pour it in the pcv vacuum line, it goes through the throttle body which feeds all 8. I used a small metal funnel and stuck it in the vacuum elbo that comes right off the TB and used that as a pour location


WHat you wanna do is pour in 1/3 of the can in the engine oil, 1/3 in the fuel tank, and then the final part of the can you start the car, and pour it in while running and when you get close to the end, just dump it in and shut the car off.... let it sit about 10 minutes. Then fire it up, smoke show will then happen lol.


THe more carbon buildup you have the more smoke.


I noticed about 10% improvement in overall running smoothness, etc etc

I call the company Directly and they also recomend just dumping the whole can in the gas tank fill her up and rid her hard until she is drained then replace you gas filter and you will see a big differance!
