Default Oil still clean after Seafoam?

My LS1 has 102K on it and I followed the writeup on using seafoam... blew out a bunch of white smoke after pouring it through the vacuum line as expected but after 100 miles of driving with half a bottle in the crankcase the oil is still amber clear. Not quite what I was expecting...

I did pull a valve cover off a few thousand miles ago and couldn't see any gunk built up, the aluminum just had a varnished color to it. I was hoping it would clean that up but we'll see. Anyone else ever have this happen?

i would highly advise changing your oil....seafoam breaks down oil thats what its made for....im not sure exactly why your oil is still new looking however...that doesnt sound right

I've seafoamed both of my trans ams and neither time did the oil look absolutely atrocious or anything. It looked pretty amber for me too after around 150-200 miles.
