I've heard that seafoam is a really good and easy way to clean the car up a bit. When I go look at videos and ask people they tell me pour it into the Oil crank case, Brake booster, and fuel tank. It sounds stupid to pour something that doesn't belong into the brake booster and espescially the crank case. I just want to know if anyone has ever used it and does it really work or is it just stupid.

Your car will smoke quite a bit when you run Seafoam through the intake manifold (through the brake booster line, not the brake booster itself.) It's kind of alarming but it's normal. That's just carbon buildup burning off. Seafoam in the gas tank is perfectly fine as well.
I personally wouldn't ever put Seafoam in my crank case. If you do it, do not drive. Let the motor idle and change your oil immediately. -------------------- "Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others labored hard for." -Socrates.
