You feed it in a vacume line. It should explain it all on the bottle...

because apparently the kid doesnt know what he's doing..
for one, you have to change the oil REALLY soon after doing a seafoam treatment.. mainly because it degrades the oil and yuck.. our cars are hella picky about oil, admit it. [if hes gonna put it in the oil]

if your going to just do gas, then make sure to have as much gas in your tank as you can, as sea foam can hurt your injectors.. i promise. [slight chance, but always a chance]
i've read a lot of good things, and a lot of bad. is it worth taking chances? not in my book, but thats my opinion on my car. i used it on my dsm way back in the day, and i could definately tell a difference.. but thats a whole different car than the 3s.

your chances are basically a hit or miss.. its not going to mess it up horrifically if you do mess up somehow. unless you let the oil thin out too much or something. but if your car is running fine, i would wait until you need to do it to do it.

I've never heard anything bad about it. For some people, it's worked, other people haven't noticed anything. If you can follow directions, then you'll be fine. If your car is running pefectly fine though, then don't waste your time.

Car running fine? Then don't **** with it. It's a 3/S, it won't be fine for long.
