Leaving it in the oil may not be the best idea, since it's put in to clean up a mess, and then it should be drained out, with all the trash it's dissolved from the engine. I use it the same way we used to use butyl cellosolve. You either use it to remove combustion chamber deposits, force a 5% solution through the injectors to clean them, or use it to clean up a cranlcase...apparently causes cancer in California rats if they drink it.....maybe that's another use!

I have used seafom in my gas, but not the crank case as of yet.
From what i gather from some of your responses, you actually put it in the crankcase and leave it in..
is that correct?
others have suggested just running it for a short time before changing the oil.
I have also fogged the engine with the aerosol sea foam, it made a big of difference.
