has anyone used seafoam in their 1g? if so, where did you put it in? im not sure if i wanna do the gas tank or oil cuz it will take to long to run through..where is the best place to use the seafoam in my 1G?
 
Putting it into the gas tank acts as an injector cleaner. If you poor it through the spark plug holes and let it sit for a couple hours then vacuum out what you can, it does a good job on breaking up deposits on the piston tops. You can poor it striaght into your oil and run it for a little while to break up carbon deposits inside the engine.

It smells great while it's burning off the piston tops :p

Edit: as for advice, I'd do all 3. It's fairly inexpensive and works well. Make sure to do the spark plug hole treatment first, then run it for a little bit with the seafoam in the oil, then change the oil. Reason being is after breaking up the deposits on the piston tops, the get past the rings and into your oil so you'll need an oil change shortly after.
 
I just used it on my civic by pouring some in some with the engine oil. Worked really well. I also bought some for my 1g and will suck it through a vac line to clean everything.
