You usually run the seafoam through your car for about 10 miles and then change the oil. Or at least that is how I doit. lol It really helps the engine out. I did it in mine last time I changed the oil and it helped out quite a bit.

Here's the best write up I've found on how to use seafoam. It maybe on a ls1 forum, but the procedure is essentially the same.

http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/showth...hlight=seafoam

I personally use one full can ina FULL gas tank (as I'm filling up to mix it as well), 1/2 can in the oil, and 1/3 can in the vacuum line. Just read the back of the can b4 you buy it and use theiramounts. My car is relatively well kept and it's only got 63k mi so I didn't get alot of smoke, but it runs smoother and I still get the average of 20 mpg in the city with a heavy foot(no change).
