In the hose. it has to go thru the intake system to mix with the buildup. You may cause damage if you pour directly in the crankcase.

Has anyone ever heard of Tolulene and trans fluid mixed into the fuel? Supposedly its great for cleaning carbon. I dunno

I've heard good stuff about this product...but crazy...never have used it. Figured it was a cure in a bottle and I needed to address the problem that caused me to need this product to begin with? But I have heard people say it does wonders....?

No, the oil means the engine oil and not anything for the brake booster.

And sucking up only 1/4 of a bottle will not do much cleaning. You have to let the engine suck up through the PCV valve at least 1/3 bottle in order to be effective. What I usually do is pour the rest of that bottle in the oil a few hundred miles before an oil change and get another bottle to pour into the tank right after refueling. IMO, it's redundent for you to let the engine suck in a 1/4 bottle through the PCV valve and 1/4 through the brake booster because I believe they're all going through the same intake valve area...but correct me if I'm wrong.

I couldnt get the clip off my brakebooster tube, so I did it via the pcv valve... it sucked up fluid for like a second, then the engine cut off...

I waited like 2 minutes, then started the car up again and reved the engine like redline pretty much and a massive amount of white smoke came out of the tail pipe, so im assuming i did it right, even though i didnt use alot of seafoam...

then i poured the most of the rest of it into my gas tank.

I notice a slight difference.... I guess my car was just in good condition before the seafoam treatment.

Did mine, didn't smoke anymore than usual, , hehe. I poured almost half into the booster vacuum line. Rest was in the gas tank. It smoothed out a bit, but I think I'll have to do it again.

~Cheers~

what's the best method of adding seafoam for the 3.2? I have a few bottles of seafoam sitting here but I've been hesitating to try it until I'm sure which way to use it.
