Sea Foam Questions

I plan on running some seafoam through my car this weekend and i have a couple of quick questions first. When you put the seafoam in your top end, do you have to change your oil right away? or could you drive it for about 4 days(100 miles) then change it? Also after you run it through the vaccum line do you change the oil after that? and how long do you drive it before the smoke stops?

that didn't answer my question, and i tried to search for it. So is it ok to leave seafoam sitting in your crank case over a couple of nights?

How in the hell does this now answer your question??? Its in that sticky bro:

run the seafoam in your oil for NO MORE THAN 250 miles! seafoam is very agressive. your next oil change will be black as satan's heart and likely thicker than usual. i would not recommend running this oil very long in the car as your oil filter is going to have quite the time on its hands and the oil won't be in the best of shape afterwards. i'll say it again. change your oil less than 250 miles after you put seafoam in your crankcase! i personally recommend running it 100 miles, then changing your oil. that should be plenty for the seafoam to get most of the gunk out.

I understand what you mean z28matt... it doesnt say clearly that you can run it more than one day but you can... i would say just get that 100 miles done within a 3-5 days.
