No!!!!!!! You bought the wrong sea foam. The bottle should just say sea foam on it and nothing else. You put it into your oil and some in your gas and some through your vacuum. I recommend not putting it into your oil if you have high mileage and have nevr sea foamed your car before, because it can expose your car to some hidden issues.

Be aware that this might also lead to the death of a motor. Seafoam does exactly what it says: cleans out the motor of gunk. If you have a leak or anything that "gunk" has been sealing up you might start losing oil. Just check it often after this.

Hmmm...oil? I put it in my gas tank bc the guy at Advance Auto said it cleans the fuel system. My car actually runs a little better right now and I'm getting better mileage than before. He had me get something else for my oil system. Hmmm...

I really think that if you want to clean out your motor. Use that Engine Flush stuff. It works great.

Its also recommended that you change your fuel filter if you put it in your gas.
