I used it in my 96 zj back in Feb. It idled rough until I ran it through. I did not know not to leave it in the oil and I think it might have contributed to some recent problems but I plan on using it again. It ran slick after it quite smoking.
man, the smoke it emits.....wow

I pour half in the throttle body and half in the tank of gas. But here is a thread from just a few weeks ago you can take a look at too.

don't worry i just think we need a specific tread for this stuff since so many people use it and have questions. maybe we should turn this one into the seafoam tread

Seafoam works great on our 4.0l's! Put it in through the brake booster and put some in the gas tank.

And +1 for a Seafoam sticky, ha.

I just add to the gas. I know for a fact from doing a tear down that it takes care of carbon in the combustion chamber.

You think it breaks the oil down too fast?

What if you only ran lets say 100 miles on it, then changed the oil?
