well i did my sea foam yesterday and i can tell you that iam impressed not only at the product but at my CAR !! ![Woot](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/woot.gif)
when i bought it, it was 1 only owner and the guy had 100k warranty and i think the car has been through a process like sea foam and sometype of flush. why because the car didnt throw that much smoke out of the exhaust! i know i did the process right like how you guys said PCV hose Gas tank and Oil. and now i think my car is super cleaaaaaan ! i also got a tune up at my dads the other day and i just had the spark plugs switched.. they're pretty good sparks....but really dont want to deal with the hassel of switching them again because i can get to the front 3 very easy but the 3 in the back are in a horrible position...is it cool if i keep all of them there? or is it mandatory?
ohh btw i got an oil change already..... so now im done with sea foam for a next 50k or maybe 100k
p.s !
i have a question i was looking at an gas octane booster for the car, would it be too messy if i pour that in now ?? after i did the sea foam yesterday ??

This, just... no. Octane boosters are something to stay away from.

In reality, octane boosters only raise your octane level by like 0.3 (93 to 93.3). Worthless. If you want a significant octane level increase, buy race fuel or inject methanol. I'm a bit confused about what you're saying about your spark plugs, though.

True - it takes 10 points of octane booster to get ONE octane number higher. So, to go from say 87 to 93, you would need a booster that is capable of boosting the octane of the current amount of gas you have in your tank (gallons) by 60 points! (none exist, BTW!)
If you look, some of the highest only add 10 points of octane boost for an average size gas tank - that's ONE octane number!

Pull the plugs (at least on the front) and eyeball them. DO change the oil - especially if you adde SeaFoam to the oil - and even not, because all the crud you broke loose that doesn't get blasted out the exhaust ends up in the oil, and will plug your filter. Oil change is cheap compared to an engine rebuild!
I would suggest if you want to do the Seafoam, wait until an oil change is due, then put in cheap oil, Seafoam it, then change out the oil for the synthetic. Chunking away $35 of synthetic hurts!

you mixed up the order a bit, wait unti lthe oil change is near, then do the seafoam, then change the oil to cheap oil, then do part ii of the correct seafoam procedure, then change the oil again to the sythentic
