I believe It is just a petroleum based cleanser. . It made my engine light turn off after using it in my 05 Magnum. How long did you let it soak? How much did you suck up into the brake booster? My magnum only smoked for maybe 2-5 minutes but my 5.0 with 100k smoked for a good 5-10 minutes. Huge cloud, my neibor that there was a fire. Not a bad buy for $8 huh?

If you just changed you oil, I would not put it in your oil. I would put half the bottle in the brake booster hose and 1/2 in the gas tank. I'm not sure about leaving it in your oil for 3K miles till your next oil change.

one of my coworkers put the seafoam after I dropped the oil in the vacuum line and oil filler and let it sit for 5-10 mins before telling me he had put it in already, I filled it up with oil as I was cussing at him, ignited the car and it seized the pistons... I was so pissed I kept cranking and eventually threw a piston through the block! Good thing it was only a 90 CRX I turned around and sold it for 500 buks

I put a 1/3 each into my oil, vac line and gas tank.

Yeah I wasn't planing on using it that time. He just put the can in without telling me.

What did you do? 2 cans? or you put oil in the vacuum line? Kinda hard to read what happened.
