I just changed mine after running 150 and it was still pretty amber - at least more so than I've been told it should be, but certainly blacker than it should be after 150 miles.

I'd suggest running it to like.. 200. I've changed oil without seafoaming after 5000 miles that was dirtier than my fresh, seafoamed oil after ~150

My oil has had seafoam for about 100 miles, still pretty clean for a 3500 oil. I'm going to drive another 50 miles before changing the oil.
