I'm running a can of it thru my gas in my 4runner right now. I"m planning on getting another can and doing my intake, maybe my oil too but i'd do it right before an oil change.

For those XJ owners that are planning on Seafoaming thier oil...
IF your motor has ALOT of miles 175,000+ be very careful.
It has been known to loosen up too much "junk".
Basically, if it don't leak now...it will.
There is a HUGE thread on NAXJA about Seafoam. Bigger than our "AWhat have you done to your XJ today" thread.
Take some time and read over it and decide for yourself if you wish to go thru with Seafoaming your crankcase.
Intake and gas tank...go for it. It is awesome for those.
I currently am babying a rear main that started to leak 1 day after Seafoaming my crankcase.
I am not trying to scare anyone but I do believe you should be informed.

I had a 220K mile 302 engine i ran a can through the intake...worst thing i ever did...car would smoke out a intersection on take off...eventually got tired of it and installed current motor in my Mustang.

When i seafoamed my 96 civic dx, all the stuff it loosened up in the intake, just clogged up at the manifold and i had to take it all off and clean it up manually before i could continue running it.
