Default Seafoam with synthetic oil????

I know many people use this to clean the top end of their engine, but the guy at napa said it can be used as an additive also. Can you pour about a half canof this stuff in after a fresh oil change and continue to drive until your next change with have to worry about any thing?

the seafoam is safe with synthetic oil but i believe you are only supposed to run it in your oil for around 100 miles then change it. so you would put it in right before you do an oil change so the seafoam comes out with the oil. your oil will be really dark but much cleaner on the second oil change.

X3 and run the rest through your brake boost line.

It's better to pour half to 3/4 of a bottle into the gas tank with an engine instead of directly into the oil. If you apply the seafoam through the brake booster or other vacuum port into the intake manifold, be sure to change the plugs afterwards.
