    I had a vacuum hose that once ran to my air box im guessing, I found it plugged with a bolt, removed it and i sucked the fluid through that one, Any one running to your tvis system should work.

    autozone
    any other parts store probably
    and you have to find a vacuum hose that goes into the intake and pour it thru there

    thinner oil=less lubrication to all your moving parts and if you have any oil leaks its gonna leak worse with the thinner oil.
    do the oil change lol its not worth chancing your motor, imo

    but if you use thinner oil doesnt it free out alot of gunk stuck to your engine???

    i dunno, ur just suppose to change oil after seafoam because it gets TOO thin im guessing, and if you already run semi-thin oil that could be bad.
    i wouldnt want to run thin oil on my 23 year old 3sge..
