1. Old oil + seafoam. Run for a week.

2. Drain above. Add in new oil (add cheapo oil as his is sacrificial oil). Run for 20min.
- I did mine, the fresh new oil turned into coffee in 20min run. 

3. Drain above. Add in new final oil. This time only change your oil filter.

The seafoam just add like half bottle to engine. Balance half into peteol tank near empty. Fill up run that tank finish for like 1 week then go service.

No need to remove oil when add seafoam as until your service interval the oil also become lesser.

I have summarised the steps. Please check if these steps are correct.

1. Pour half of Seafoam (white cap) into almost empty fuel tank of car.
2. Pour the remaining half of Seafoam (white cap) into engine oil hole.
3. Go pump petrol until full tank and drive the car for a week.
4. After a week, remove intake hose (connecting to throttle body).
5. Start the car and warm-up engine by maintaining at 2500rpm for a few minutes.
6. Attached the small plastic tube onto the Seafoam Spray (black cap) and spray into the throttle hole while the car engine is still running until the whole can is empty.
7. Turn off the car engine and let it soak for 15min.
8. Start the car and rev it until all the white smokes becomes clearer.
*Might get Check Engine Light on because air sensor detects some error. This is normal and can ask mechanic to turn it off during servicing.
9. Drive to workshop and ask them to drain the engine oil.
10. Pour in new engine oil (can use cheap engine oil).
11. Start car and let it idle for 20 min.
12. Turn off car engine and drain the engine oil. The engine oil should be very dark.
13. Pour in new engine oil (our preferred engine oil). Change new oil filter.

- must do this step carefully if you dont want check engine light to turn on,
connect the small tube like in the video, try to connect back the rubber hose that connect to the throttle body. then start spraying.
if the rubber hose is not connected properly, the engine light warning will come on because the MAF sensor right before intake cant detect any air and will cause engine to choke.

you can choose to spray direct into throttle body just that will trigger engine light warning.

Thanks for the info. So its best to cover back the rubber hose while leaving a small gap for the small tube to spray into the throttle hole. This method can reduce the chamce of getting check engine light on. Am i correct?
