Just Seafoamed..

I finally got around to using my seafoam. I have a question about how to put oil back in after it's cleaned. Do I pull off the hoses before I start the car in an hour and let it suck some oil in like it did when I seafoamed it? Or plug everything I disconnected back up, then unplug the hoses and let it suck it in? Or do I do it a different way?

It says after I start it. So that solves one question. Do you know if I put oil in both nipples or just one? I'm assuming both.

He's talking about the four cycle oil that you put in just like you did the seafoam.

I sucked in the 4 cycle oil just as I did the seafoam before actually starting the car.
You only want to crank it while adding the oil,not start it. then let the oil and seafoam sit for an hour or two. Then start it as instructed.

I seafoamed, waited an hour, then hooked up both nipples to a 1 ounce cup of clean oil and started it. Let it run until it ate all the oil and plug the hoses back up. It worked so I guess it done alright.

or you can premix like crap and not do the oil thing.
