But the gas tank method is less likely to damage your plugs because the seafoam concentration will be diluted with gallons of fuel. With the PCV method, you're shooting 100% seafoam into the engine.

i c...well i'm planning on running it through the PCV valve and hope for the best i guess? lol. if it starts to drive like crap again well then i know to change it. =P
but i guess running it through the oil would make the plugs foul up the most i guess? which i did last time but just want to try avoid changing the plugs thats why. =P sry i'm very lazy. >_<
Peace out

Putting seafoam in the oil wont damage the plugs, at least it shouldn't. I would buy a quart of lucas, run your fuel down to maybe a few gallons, and then dump the whole quart of lucas fuel injector cleaner in there. It's more effective than the seafoam, and it quiets down those injectors.

Yes...dump the bottle in and drive around for maybe another 30 miles until your gas gauge gets near empty. Then refill it with maybe another 2 gallons so you don't dilute the rest of the lucas that much. After running it down near empty again, just fill her up like you normally would.
I did this to my father's camry and boy was there a lot of carbon smoke coming out of the tailpipe
More than I ever did with the seafoam treatment (in the gas tank).

^ Change your plugs and oil after you do it.

ok lets clear things up a little bit, if your car already needs plugs change them after seafoam treatment, ive seafoamed about 10 cars and never fouled or damaged the spark plugs. if you follow directions it will not harm your engine or spark plugs. when you put it in the oil change the oil anywhere from 30-100 miles max and yes the oil will be very dirty. no, seafoam will not harm your vehicle if you put it in the fuel tank. follow directions of how much to use and maybe you guys wont run into issues. read the seafoam info online and watch the youtube video for more info.
