Default 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 afterwords. Instructions on the can does not mention anything about the changing of oil or plug fouling. Any input please. Thanks.

I've used sea foam through my booster line in my f150, z28, s-10, bmw 325I and have not had any problems with plugs. The BMW sputter a little on start up, then it clears up. None of the cars have the iridium plugs. I don't think it would make a difference. The Vette is due for new plugs, oil and fliters in 1000 miles so I haven't sea foamed the vette yet.

Thanks Kevin for your valuable input. I have 57K on my Vette and just changed the plugs to the A/C Delco Iridium spark plugs which are used in the Vettes now. On the Sea Foam can it says it won't foul out the plugs or sensors. But you hear members saying change oil and plugs after running the sea foam Have you noticed a difference in your vehials after using the Sea Foam?
Thanks,
Rsty
