It says to replace a quart of motor oil with mystery oil. It doesn't say that I have to change the oil right after running for 50 to 100 miles. I guess after that many miles the oil will be black?

thanks

Just add it. 1 quart over isnt going to cause any issues.
You can run it as long as you want. We used to add marvel oil in the winter to thin down the oil in the old f800s and in the school busses.
It won't hurt it to be in there all the time. Change it after 1k the first time though. It's gonna loosen up some sludge.

So it's the rubber hose coming off the throttle body rubber hose , that has the purge solenoid. Pull the hose off the purge solenoid so I can suck the Seafoam into the throttle body. Then it sucks it into the intake manifold?

I had an exhaust valve get so full of carbon it would no longer close, and I saw 60psi on that cylinder only. Probably not your issue: my truck had a broken oil expander ring and burned about a qt of oil every fill up (400 miles or so), which eventually gummed up the exhaust valve enough so it wouldn't even close.

Could you have a burned exhaust valve from running lean with that air leak? Makes sense to me. I'm curious to see what this turns out to be.

I thought you can blow valve cover gaskets, by adding oil above the max fill line. Or is that only on the smaller 4 cyclinder engines?
