firstly, yes I have read the thread by AZhitman.

My main thing is that I have 650 miles on a royal purple 5w30 oil change, and after I run the seafoam, would it be needed immediately afterward that I change the oil + filter again? Or just wait until im due for the next change to run seafoam.

If any1 has pics of the hoses AZhitman talks about sipping to seafoam into and which ones to avoid, I would appreciate it if you could post them for me.
Also, would it be worth it to pull the oilpan off if I did change oil and clean out the filter and pretty much everything I can while its off?

Thanks again.

wait untill you are ready for your oil change, this stuff thins your oil to help clean things internally, you do NOT want thsi stuff in your engine for a long period fo time

fwiw don't expect any noticible changes in the car, it just cleans it's not majic

Possibly more fun, safer, more effective and better in the long run to:
- replace both PCV valves
- install new spark plugs
- remove and thoroughly clean EGR tubes
- clean throttle bodies and MAF
- remove and clean the IAC/AAC valves and Air Regulator

Pulling the plenum works too!
