why risk it? if you have the old plugs put them back on if not i'd wait a year then seafoam and change plugs. I"ve never seafoamed but people are always recommending to repalce plugs after seafoaming a car.

I wouldn't change the plugs to the old ones. That makes no sense at all. Seafoam cleans the combustion chambers yet ruins the plugs? how much sense does that make?

I've got three seafoam tratments on both of my cars and I never changed the plugs or O2's afterwards.

Plugs will be just fine......

Foul the plugs, thats ridiculous. It will clean the plugs and everything else that gas touches. Put an entire can of SeaFoam in 3/4 of a tank of gas. I do this every 3 months. Been doing it for 3 years, my plugs are always perfect and I know I have some clean *** injectors.

can't put the old plugs back in, i don't have them....

but yea i mean i didn't see how it could really hurt them but i've jsut been told that if ur car does have alot of build up then it could foul the plugs..... oh well, guess ill do it and hope for the best...
also... add an entire can to 3/4 tank of gas??... shouldnt u add it to a full tank instead?

i always go with 3/4 of a half tank. its a little more potent that way and it works every time. sometimes i get back 2mpg from it

I put it in on a near empty tank, it lowers the fuels octane rating a bit, but it doesn't run on empty for long.

Be careful, it can eat up the tiny screens in your fuel injectors. 1 can to 3/4 of a tank is best.

Naa I soaked my TBI injectors in them on my truck. I did replace the screens with the ones in the kit.

Are you sure about that? What about the instructions where you run it through an injector cleaning machine, same thing but even more concentrated. I don't know really I'm asking.
