Default seafoam + oil change quick question

k so within the next few weeks im due for an oil change. so i went to the store and bought my mobil 1 and was eyein down the aisle with all the injector cleaner and what not. ended up coming across the beloved seafoam (my car has approx 105k right now)... i bought 1 can of it and was planning on doing that today ( seafoam... not the oil change) would it be smart of me to do the seafoam today (1 week before doing an oil change) ? or should i do it right after the oil change or doesnt it matter at all?

thanks

do it approximately 30-50 miles before the oil change, use bout third can in each system, pcv, crankcase, and fuel tank. Get a wire brush to clean the spark plugs or just buy new ones.

After you seafoam, the seafoam will break out chunks of sludge and thin the oil out, don't want thin oil and **** buildin up in ur oil lines.

none of your posts that i have read are correct and you seem to not have any idea what you are talking about or how things work. point me in the direction of anyone who has ever had a clog in their oil lines after seafoaming.
