How could spraying this stuff in the intake possibly clean the injectors?

I need to change my oil soon, so I am thinking about some seafoam a 100 miles prior to it. Is there something you would recommend doing during it specific to our Gs, now that you went thru the process?

If they did they would not use seafoam

Is your engine slugged up? What oil OCI(oil change intervals) are you doing?

MMO is more effective then seafoam in the oil, but then again is your engine slugged up? What oil OCI(oil change intervals) are you doing?
Hey Screens

Oh sure, improper use of SeaFoam can do all kinds of fun stuff to your car's internals.

Using it once every, say, 75,000 miles isn't going to hurt the car, though.

There used to be a kid that lived down the street from me that would SeaFoam his car every other oil change. I had to sit him down and explain why doing that was doing more damage than just driving was.

Its unlikly that you would need seafoam as synthetics clean. But it does not hurt if you do it once in a while, it does thin out your oil so dont run it hard at high revs.

MMO the other thing I was talking about I was not exactly right, its solvent is not as strong so you can keep it the whole OCI. But seafoam cleans faster/sooner. MMO is a slow working solvent, MMO for 3k or seafoam for 200, which exactly cleans better I dont know.

This is funny........we finally agree on something! Those of you that use quality synthetic oil and change it at reasonable intervals don't need to add anything to your crankcase! I use the Redline injector cleaner (goes in the gas tank) when changing oil which is slightly less than 4 times a year and did the same with my last Z too.
