@chernmax ok i just poured it all down my gas tank and ive gotten a few smoke shows from flooring it all white smoke lol and i notice a bit more smoothness now so i guess the fuel lines needed cleanin but to put it anywhere else i will do it before my oil change thanks

Also, rather than pouring the rest of the contents of the seafoam into the induction in a matter of seconds, it gives the additive more time to due its job and clean the injectors and valves if you use a slow drip applicator or carefully bend the tube connected to the funnel to slow down the drip while leaving the car running. Once the drip is done, reconnect the vacuum line and then rev the engine. More white smoke should appear than what showed on this video.

I am a current jiffy lube employee that does recommend using a fuel system and engine cleaning such as seafoam(even though Nissan Manufacturer does not). However it is much more effective to clean the inductive by going through the brake booster vacuum line located in the upper right hand corner of the hood. By doing this you also avoid any confusion by the check engine light going on because if you don't leave the car running with a disconnected hose, the light will not go on.
what if you just changed your oil will it ruin it

@pbeilstein Yes, seafoam is designed to remove engine sludge and buildup, that is why is should be used BEFORE an oil change. It's recommended to use Seafoam and then drive your car normally for about another 150-200 miles to allow a good breakdown of the engine buildup, THEN change your oil!

@adnantallal Yes you can absolutely use it for your car, just remember after you apply the treatment, continue the normal driving of your car for 150-200 miles, then change your oil and filter.
Seafoam FIRST, then Oil Change (after 150-200miles of driving!).

@adnantallal LOL, actually we have 6 CYLINDER (not 6 cycle) engines, 2-4 cycle engines are like lawn mowers, weed wackers, small gas engines etc. :-)
