No, you can put it in through a vaccum line, gas tank, or oil.

It is alway's highly recommended to change the spark plugs out and put new one's in after a seafoam treatment has been applied.

WHY?
if it does magic cleaning combustion chambers, why would it not clean the spark plugs? When installed they are part of the combustion chamber.

Yeah, do that James and let us know how it works out! Maybe JIBBBY can start a new thread on that one too.

Spark plugs become fouled with use of normal gasoline, the extra carbon whatever the seafoam helps it spit out just fouls it faster.

It's not carbon build up on the plugs, its just excessive burning. Seafoam causes that, it doesn't fix it.

I know I can't explain things very well, maybe someone can help me clear that up.

Checked my 0-60 before and after. Yes, yes I have. It about as placebo as a supercharger. Just not to as great an extent.

So seafoaming the tranny is not a good idea probably... Nothing combustable and that does make sense...Differential, I assume would be the same..

Yea thanks ********. You might notice I am the ONLY ONE in this thread who posted info straight from seafoam sales. This way you can skip over all the bullshit from USERS and get info from the MANUFACTURER.

AND BTW google urban dictionary for JIBBY =
jibby 6 up, 9 down
A pathetic man who is most commonly a nerd and lives with his mother.

While JIBBY did take the first shot, you still need to tone it down.
This isn't 5th grade recess. Consider that your last warning.

Will do Unit213 on my end, however, where did I take the first shot though? I'm a peaceful man...


Transtune is a Seafoam product....Never heard of it...I will check that..

Don't worry everyone, Mr.9000 has exemplified to us all of what a gullable person is. He will take a manufacturer's word over real life experience and result's.
