Just did mine this past weekend and didn't really get a smoke show how I had gotten in the past. This was after 50k miles. It did manage to foul my plugs and I had to replace them yesterday. I planned on replacing them anyway just not until this next weekend.

Sea Foaming has instantly both killed 02 sensors on some cars and fouled the plugs.

Hit or miss.

Next time I Sea Foam I'm definitely taking my 02 sensors out while its running, just to make sure they don't get killed. I knwo a few people that have had this happen.

No, it kills spark plugs and 02 sensors SOMETIMES when you run it through the top end via the brake booster hose. Putting it in your oil has nothing to do with spark plugs or 02 sensors.

I did mine in the fall before i put it away, Huge black cloud afterward. Then when i put my FAST intake on, i noticed the heads were still black as hell, so i just did it again, and same result. Huge black cloud. I think im going to invest in a catch can, cause this shitty PCV system pisses me off!
