Honestly i think your car is way to new for you to be dumping that in..... What is your mileage?

I run a bit through each of my cars every few months. I suck up about 1/3-1/2 of a can through the vacuum line next to the PCV, turn it off for 5-10 minutes, then take it on a high RPM run until it stops pouring white smoke out.

Could just be snake oil, but the smoke isn't just coming from the Seafoam.

good to hear, I know people who say it does wonders. if I had known about the spark plug thing sooner, I would have tried it but I just changed my plugs and already threw the old ones away.

It's supposed to smooth out your power band a lot from what I've heard in the past. Never seen it at the auto parts store tho.
