seafoam is a internal engine cleaner that breaks down carbon deposits. You remove a vacum line going into the engine and put the line in a can of seafoam, you start the car and it will smoke like a freight train becuase it blows all the carbon and deposits out of the exhaust and the engine will eventually die, replace thevacum line and start the engine again and let it idle till it clears up.You should definately not perform this procedure unless you are very experienced. And this is usually performed to high milage engines that are runnning bad. I dont really see the need to do it on a car as new as the s197, although it wont hurt anything.

ORIGINAL: 157db

Read the owners manual. Its spelled out in there.
If yours is like mine and has returned to the wild (lost, strayed, or stolen), you can read it at the most excellent Brad's site:
