Default Seafoam

I bought the Seafoam but I need to know where the PVC or Brake booster line is so I can run it through the engine.

Look at the brake fluid reservoir and you'll see a big vac hose going to the back of the intake remove from the brake booster and let the engine drink it up.

What about the Deep Creep in the throttle body? Do I spray it through the MAF or remove the MAF and spray it directly on the TB?

1/3 in the brake booster line, 1/3 in oil crankcase, 1/3 in gas tank, and half a can of deep creep into the TB. It really didnt smoke that much only the first 3 times I WOT'd it, the first cloud was moderate, the second was alot less smoke, and the third, was barely noticeable. I'm going to let the car sit for 30 min and then change the oil. Can anyone tell me where the oil pan is on the underbody of the car, and also where my spare tire jack is to lift the car?

the oil pan is directly under the engine, you will find you a bolt just take it out to drain the oil. your jack should be in your trunk on the right side you will have to take a panel off

Dont forget to replace the kaneuter valve after a seafoam flush or you can break a flamshooter checkvalve. Trust me when i say you dont wanna break the flamshooter valve! Ended up costing me more then you can imagine.
