I don't know the difference between those 2 products, I assume they are close to the same thing. I do know that the MMO will help keep it clean (after it's clean) and lubricates the injectors and other various parts of the system. Adding the Techron also keeps it clean, it will also clean, but just takes longer than the seafoam or MCCC.

Iv read the can and cant find anything about when to change the oil iv heard some people say after like 10 miles and some say they don't change until next oil change. Also have almost a full tank of gas will adding 1/3 of it to the gas tank do anything

Sorry for all these tarted post but trying to make sure i do this rite. This is what i read on another site about sea foam. Buy 2 cans pour a whole one into the gas tank get the other can pour half into crank case and the other half into the brake booster should i go with this or just stick with the one can? Also should i change the oil after this tank of gas runs out? This will be my last post about this lol sorry

Dude no problem, it's a 1/3 of the can in each is what everyone here does. As far as the amount of gas goes, I'm sure it's assuming you have a full tank, but anything less is not going to hurt. (unless you are out of gas)! Now go do it, and post some video or pics after you put it in the brake booster.

I'll confuse ya here. I do the seafoam thing every other oil change. I don't mess with putting any of it in the oil or gas tank. I let the booster pick about half of it up, then with the air intake off, I pour the rest in to kill the motor. Usually wait 10-15 minutes, and then start her up and watch the smoke fly!!! I think I posted a video of what it looks like...
