Default SEA FOAMED, prob before, and results. kinda long

The other day my cars oil light flashed for about a minute. Everyone i have spoken to about the issue is puzzled about what is going on. Some people say there was an air bubble in one of the oil lines and trigered the light when it pased by the oil pressure sensor and others beleive it is an early sign of the oil sludge issue. Light came on once when at idle and never came back again, it has been over a week. I been reading good things about sea foam so i ran it in my car, some in oil, some in gas, and lastly in the vac lines. I changed the oil yesterday and im so happy with the way the car feels and is running. The car is idleing really smooth and feels like its more responsive. Im not saying my car is miraculously fast now or anything but i totaly felt a difference than before running sea foam. I recomend everyone run this stuff in your car and see what it can do for you. If you have any ??? email me or post. thanks

I've used it in the oil, I was happy with its cleaning ability.

Default u can get it from napa or car quest, and i used to cans, look inside for deatails

i turned off my car, ran half a can in the gas, one full can in the oil and then i started up my car, took me about a minute to start it up but it kicked. then i disconect the vac line and put the other half in the vac lines. i then pluged the vac line back in, turned off the car, waited 20 minutes started it up, let it sit for a minute, then i took off and floored it for several runs till i saw no more smoke. i then drove around 100 miles changed the oil and wallah. btw when u do this u only want enough gas to last you 200 miles max, because u want to fill up with fresh gas once u change your oil
email for other ?????
