and its fine to use in your oil AS LONG AS you change your oil after 100 miles after you put the seafoam in your oil
I don't forsee myself being able to afford an oil change in the near future lol so maybe I shouldn't use the stuff. I know there's places that have oil changes for 25 bucks or so but I can't even afford that..I'm in college lol

Whenever you forsee yourself getting an oil change. Use the seafoam about a week before you do. I went about 1500 miles on mine before changing oil and I didnt have any problems.

you can put some in your gas, and pull your fuel pressure reg. vacum off and stick it into a small cup of seafoam while the car is running, then just when you are ready for an oil change then put some in the oil before the change.

sorry to bring back an old thread, but Ive been searching this a little and have come accross a bunch of people who have the same doubts as supersize about it being bad for rings on high mileage cars.

anyone have a definitive answer to whether if done correctly it would be bad for a car with 136k miles that has never had any cleaning done except gummout all in one?

My 91 dx has 166K on it and I used Seafoam all around when I first got it at 162K and it is fine.
