N18 Seafoam without kit.

Has anyone seen this video? I've been trying to find a way to use Seafoam on my N18 and came across this.
Anybody tried this? I thought I had to use a kit if I had a 2012 N18.

It would be nice to see some evidence that this treatment accomplished what he said. The walnut cleaning with photos that have been posted on this site clearly show what they accomplish. Anyone have photos of valves after Seafoam treatment?

I agree it would be nice to see evidence. But, Seafoam is cheap and if put in through the intake after the MAP sensor can do no harm. And I do believe if there is any carbon in the intake or piston tops, it may actually help a little. Maybe even more.

I do a Seafoam can through the PVC once every 20,000 miles. And a bottle of 20oz Techron every 10,000 in a tank of gas. And I only use Shell and change the oil every 5000 miles with filter.

So yes. Evidence would be nice. But good practice helps too.
