    To Seafoam my V6 XLT or not?

    I think I may try it. I always ran 87 in my X but for about the past 2 months I run strictly 91, whats and extra 60 or so bucks a year. What do you think about half a bottle in the vacuum line and half in the tank? Maybe crank case later after i find where my oil leak is so i can fix it first.
