Default Seafoam question

After you add seafoam to the crankcase, do you change the oil BEFORE you seafoam the internals through the brake booster line? Or do you wait until after? Does the seafoam just burn off in the interals? Looked in the actual seafoaming sticky and it didn't say.

put it in the crankcase and drive/run it no more than 100 miles.

when you do the top end is up to you and everyones opinion.

most are going to say do the top end then change the oil.

so, again, put it in the oil. drive near 100 miles, do the top end, change the oil.

And if you put it in the gas tank, run that tank of treated gas out and change the fuel filter. Water and gunk may be picked up in the tank and moved forward.

And if you treat the top end, with all the smoke and thunder, you might want to change to new plugs due to all the stuff burned out of the engine.

Think of it as the first step in a complete tune-up.

Sounds good. I was going to get a tune up anyways after I got all the fluids changed.
