Seafoam
so i seafoamed my engine yesterday up at work on the 2nd floor of the parking garage. i made these 2 guys really mad when they were trying to pull out and also freaked the security guards out when i drove away and left a giant smoke cloud in the building. this stuff is godly and i love it, i then went this morning and did it to my mom's focus (this time on the top floor of the same parking garage) and will be doing it to a friend's Silveraldo and Sonoma next weekend.

Remove line at the brake booster and pour it in while the engine is idling. Pour in little over half the bottle. Turn the truck off, let it set for 10-15 minutes. Don't forget to reconnect the vacuum line and start her up and slowly rev the engine until most of the heavy smoke is done. Next step, take her out and drive the hell out of it for a couple of miles.
Oh yeah, I usually pour the rest of the bottle in the gas tank too.

Where do you think the sludge and build up go? Yup into your oil....here's instructions from Seafoam:
To clean built-up oil residues and contamination from the crank case, add 1½ oz. Sea Foam to each quart of engine oil.* Sea Foam will slowly re-liquefy residues and suspend contaminants for easy removal.* Remember to change oil and filter when they become dirty.

Never changed oil right afterwards. The last truck I owned had well over 200k miles on it and had been sea foamed too many times to remember.

The most frequently asked question about using Sea Foam is as follows: “After using Sea Foam in my oil, fuel, or through the vacuum line (to clean carbon from the combustion chamber) do I need to change my oil?” The short answer is: No you don’t have to change your oil after using Sea Foam in any application.
When using Sea Foam in your fuel or through the vacuum line for carbon cleaning your oil does not need to be changed. Using Sea Foam in your oil, at 1 ½ ounces per quart, is a safe way to clean a crankcase, free up rings or free up sticky lifters as you drive. Sea Foam is not a chemical engine flush and therefore, it will not damage internal engine components or plug the oil pick up screen. Sea Foam is a pure petroleum blend with no chemical additives and is safe for long term cleaning or short term pre-service cleaning.

So from seafoam;
As a pre service cleaner for old oil residue, sticky rings or valve train noise, pour 1 ½ ounces of Sea Foam Motor Treatment into the engine oil crankcase for EACH quart of oil capacity, including filter. Drive a MINIMUM of 30 minutes/miles, MAXIMUM 100 miles, and then do your oil change service – Lube, Oil & Filter (LOF). This begins the process of safely/slowly re liquefying the old oil residue so contaminants may flow and be filtered. This also makes your old oil dirtier, quickly, so a LOF service is necessary when the oil gets dirty. Great for Turbocharged & Supercharged applications where oils deteriorate so quickly due to heat, and leave those residues that NEED CLEANING.
