Yup yup...you must be very careful with seafoam when it comes to crankcase. If you really want to do a treatment for the engine, go to a car dealership and ask about BG "Performance Enhancer". It is a two part kit containing a chemical "like" seafoam for the cleaning portion. The tech lets the motor idle with the stuff in there for a little while. After ward, they hook up a BG machine to pressurize the motor internally to "spit" out whatever fluids, or as in the case of dirty motors.. chunks of shit may remain. This would be akin to removing the oil pan and cleaning it.. obviously you wouldn't have to in this case. Part to is BG "MOA" - aka Motor Oil Additive. Super duper fantastic awesome shit that BG sells. Very good lubericant that they mix in with oil and pour it in. At the Toyota dealer I work at, we've had dumb fuck quick lube techs forget to fill a car with oil.. but they did fill up the motors with MOA. We've had cars that traveled 20-60 miles on MOA alone before the motor seized. Go to your local toyota dealership, and ask them to do the BG "performance enhancer" kit. I'm sure other dealerships do it too, but I know Toyota in general is keen on it.
