it seems to idle a little bit better than it did, the tach needle sits like its frozen solid on idle, i was in a parking talking to a friend and let it run for 20 mins... sat like a stone.... and pick up is a little quicker, but that's probably just psychological ... nothing was really wrong.... i just figured it wouldn't hurt to burn the carbon out of it ya know? i also put some in my gas tank.... heard you shouldn't use it in oil until your ready to change it, sort of like a flush.

yea the stuff is freakin great, and yea, wait for an oil change before yo add it to the oil, also check your spark plugs and O2 sensor, the seafoam kinda screws them up, i recommend keeping an old set of plugs, and o2 sensor for when i do it.

hehehe, if your motor is really old, and burns oil, I would probably stay away from it. You're basically cleaning out the gunk that was holding your seals together.

The motor had around 170K, and definitely wasn't taken care of by the previous owners :(
