Could someone circle the correct vaccum line to use again? The picture disappeared. Also where can I get the one time use clamps? Just Auto-Zone? Are the general for every car?

if you look at the pic, there's a square blue connector at the top right. if you look a little higher there's a clamp with a flat head on it to tighten it down. that's the hose. i'm on my phone so i could get the pic for ya. the clamp can be bought at autozone, get the smallest ones they sell. have fun with it, don't breath in too much of the smoke lol

Ohhh ok. So I unclamp this and use that hose to start slowly sucking the seafoam through? Its that simple?

I've been waiting a few months for my oil to get nearer to needing a change to run the seafoam and finally that time has arrived. I have the seafoam ready to roll, just want to clarify this real quick:

How far is too far? Does it still have to suck some air as it sucks the seafoam or do you mean let it suck up a little seafoam all at once, then some air for a bit, and then another burst of seafoam?
