Seafoam is good for an upper engine carbon removal treatment, such as the one described here:

but I wouldn't put it in my crankcase. Best internal engine cleaner out there is Auto-Rx:

I pour a can in the tank every 5000 miles, as a preventative measure. At 68000 miles, my Ranger is running great and I'm getting the best fuel economy (17.5-18 mpg) since I've owned it.

How do you use that stuff
On the bottle it says pour it in using a vacuum line such as the PVC tube. I'm a little curious, exactly where should you insert the stuff and how would you do it on a 3.0 liter?

I have had good results using this through the intake and as a fuel stabilizer when in storage. I am just apprehensive about putting anything in my oil. I just run a good synthetic to keep everything clean. Even using a quality dino oil, as long as it is changed regularly, will keep everything clean.

I guess I was looking for a little bit more information. Do you simply stick the vacuum line into the bottle and let it suck up the stuff until you reach the recommended dosage (1/3 of the bottle is what they advertise).
