It won't hurt it to throw in the oil every once in awhile. Oil comes out sorta foamy and darker.

I always wanted to know how bad the old 77 next door would smoke. it's a real piece of art. xD 574,000KM on it never been seafoamed.

I think I'm going to do this when I change my oil in a few weeks.

The Deep Creep is the same formulation as the Seafoam, but in a spray can.

I like to spray that through the brake booster hose instead of sucking Seafoam through it - just gives a bit better control of the amount going into the intake.

Haven't had any doubts about recommending Seafoam to anyone with fuel problems - if it solves the problem, all well and good, and at the very least, it'll clean out the fuel delivery system, injectors, valves and cylinders.

PS: I've never tried the Seafoam throught the crankcase either, since I regularly change the oil at every 5000 km (about 3,000 miles) but I may try it soon since I'm approaching the 500,000 km mark (about 300,000 miles), and at this point, it's surely not going to hurt anything.
