Sea Foam Question
I'm thinking of running Sea Foam through my engine using the vacuum port at the brake booster. My worry is that I may foul out my new Iridium spark plugs. I plan to change the oil and filter afterwards. Instructions on the can does not mention anything about the changing of oil or plug fouling. Any input please. Thanks.

It is possible that fouling of plugs and oxygen sensors may occur...

As a preventative maintenance issue, I would definitely recommend changing the oil, AND, possibly the spark plugs (inspect plugs). And, yes, you may possibly "foul" the O2 sensors. In fact, when this procedure is performed at a local Dealership, most service techs are instructed to change out both oil, and, plugs to help ensure optimum performance after service. Good luck to you.

I've been using this stuff for years on all of my cars, great product. I have been told to run the car for 100-300 miles after dumping it in the crank case, been doing it without any problems so far. I haven't changed plugs after doing it and haven't noticed any ill effects from it.
