[QUOTE=Laramie1997;1670876]I thought they usually recommend that you drive like 300 miles with it in the oil. I never really saw that big of a difference when I used it in the motor. Was the smoke white at first or was it blackish? were you using seafoam, or the MOPAR brand?
I was using seafoam and the smoke was white. For how long you should drive with it im not sure some people say a few hundred some change it rite away i don't really know. Anybody have an idea of how long to drive around with this stuff

I would think 25 miles is enough for it to do its job. This stuff is thin and will lower the viscosity of the oil if you add it to the crankcase. I wouldn't want to be driving around with it in there too long, especially if it does loosen up some sludge that could plug up an oil passage or pump pickup. Almost all manufacturers advise against using oil flush-type additives for this very reason. Toyota even went so far as to notify owner NOT to do this as places like Jiffy Lube that scare customers into having it done were causing warranty failures from plugged up lubrication systems. Here's some good reading from a Toyota forum:
