actually, i would definitely recommend replacing the oil filter.

if he drove around with seafoam in his oil for a long time, all those deposits get knocked loose, and will probably accumulate in the oil filter; maybe even clog it.

Hm, Looks like I should do this before I replace my plugs. Should I replace my gas filter too?

i doubt it really matters if you do it before or after changing your plugs.. changing your gas filter a little while after seafoaming cant hurt .. im not sure how much exactly it does when sitting inside the gas tank.. does anyone know if it cleans your tank too?
fuel filter change is probably not really mandatory tho

seafoam is basically just soap.

any seafoam that stays on the spark plugs will just get burned off within a few miles.
honestly, it's pretty pointless to put seafoam into your gas tank, because gasoline is a detergent all by itself.
im sure im not the only one who's used gasoline to clean their hands when working on the car at home...?

anyway, im with markstang, i dont think it matters.

Thanks for the info, My baby needs new spark plugs anyways. So... This weekend is going to be a fun one. Take off Ford's CAI and put a new one on, but plugs and wires first. ( wires ) Then seafoam her, and Last, the oil change. Looking for the fun weekend ahead.

Time to get the old trusty radio out and turn it up
