Oh... and after you use this stuff, you gotta go and drive the car real hard to make sure you burn all that stuff out the system. In the crankcase, some people say to drive the car, some say to just let it idle for a while and then change the oil. I'm going to do the idle method on that one.

I have an 03 V6 Coupe with 33000 miles on it. Is it time to do this to my car or should I wait until there is more milage on the car?

It depends on how much time you have on your hands, it won't hurt anything.

Guys do a search for how to do this...this has been covered multiple times WTF is this spraying thing?

put it into a spray bottle and spray it into the TB...if you spray fast enough you can hear the rpm's drop...

The recommended way of doing it is NOT through the PCV Valve - and not through the throddle body. One of the vaccum hoses in your throddle body is the way to go. What you do is you have to find one that sucks in air. Spray the Seafoam into a cup and then use the vaccum hose to suck it in through there. If you pull out your pvc valve while your car is running it will cause your car to jerk and stall because of loss of pressure. Believe me - i've done it on accident.

It is recommended by people on many forums. doesn't really matter how many miles you have on your car if your past the 10k mark.

watch out for the o2 sensor though, it makes it really dirty.
