Default quick question about seafoam....

i want to do the full seafoam to my car but i just changed the oil a few days ago and i read that after u seafoam your car u need to changed the oil within a couple hundred miles... well i dont wanna have to do that again so soon, so i was wondering is it alright to just put a can of seafoam in the gas tank instead of doing the the full thing..... or should i just wait and do the full seafoam later on down the road?
i heard when u just use it in the gas tank it cleans the injectors good.... so should i just do that for now?

I say just wait till you do your next oil change, that way you can get everything done at the same time. Not sure if anything bad will happen, i doubt it.

yeah i would rather do the whole thing but i just now did a mobil 1 oil change.... it would suck to waste it but i just ticked over 75,000 miles and its never had the seafoam done so i fig'd its about time....
also, after u do the treatment, how long should i drive around giving it hell?

You can pour a can of seafoam into the gas tank now if you wanted.
I would wait on pouring it into the crankcase until you are almost ready to do an oil change again.
