Well, putting it in the tank wont clean your TB and putting it in the TB wont clean your injectors or FF. So, depending on what you want to do.....

OK I am convinced to give it a try in the oil prior to changing the oil.

The previous owner of my 98 XJ ran Mobil 1 and I have continued to do so, runs clean and well.

As for seafoam, I put it in the crankcase, gas, and throttle body. My jeep is in love with me now!

Put it in the brake booster too, itll love you even more!

As for synthetic, I run Mobile 1 and she LOVES the stuff. $30 per oil change for a premium filter and full synthetic oil....cant go wrong.
