Seafoam without plug change???

Can this be done, or is a plug change pretty much mandatory?

Yeah, but I did a plug change about 5K miles ago and don't want to hassle with it again if I don't have to. What could happen if they aren't changed? Should I just wait until I'm ready to change the plugs to do the Seafoam?

I seafoamed about 10,000 miles ago and did not change my plugs.....car runs fine. Then again my seafoam experience did not produce a whole lot of smoke.

Did the seafoam not too long after changing my plugs. Still runing on those same NGK plugs. Car runs fine, so I guess no problems here.

Did the Seafoam actually do anything? I mean I'm assuming you can't feel the difference afterwards, but it still should be done, right?

i seafoamed my truck last nite doing the t/a tonite without a plug change although i do suggest you give it a good drive to help prevent the plugs from fouling. if you do not have to much carbon build up you should be 99.9% fine
