Apologies if it was mentioned, but isn't the word on the street with the hep cats that it's wise to do a seafoam treatment right before doing a plug change, because the act of doing the treatment fouls the plugs?

I have done it 4 times in the last few years, and I did get a missfire one of those times. Cleared the code, all is well.

How was the spark plug change?
That's what I have planned for next month along with a synthetic engine oil change and filter.

It is pretty easy, took me a hour. Hardest ones to get at are the back 2. I had to use 15 inches of extensions and a swivel to get at them.

If you've never done it before it is best to change the plugs afterwords,the plugs will be toast.

If you do this service once a year the carbon build up is not a severe so you can get away with not changing the plugs.Do not put SeaFoam or any other type of cleaner,even in the gas tank,more then twice a year as it will kill the cats fast.
