Spark plugs and oil.

ive done this a few times but never put any in the crankcase so i just dump it in the oil hole and run it then change the oil the next day or just before i do any real driving?

Edit:bah someone answer my question

Although you brought back a OLD post, seafoam works great.

Do you really need to change the spark plugs after doing this? i was thinking about doing it right before my oil change

Yes... we keep saying it for a reason. They will foul.

Even if you dont put the Seafoam into the crankcase? I just put some into the gas tank, and thru the brake booster....

It will thin the oil out and not lubricate as well.
