Default 81k should i seafoam?

I have 81k on my sc3 and was wondering if seafoam is needed? The reason i as is because i'm due for an oil change and if so i should get the seafoam part done while in the oil change process. Oh yeah and i was planning to do the plugs also.

just put "Nulon Total System Cleaner" in to half a tank of the best pump fuel out of the bowser.

take the first plug out and see if there is any oil etc. and general inspection of the electrode. then decide if they need replacing.

"seafoam part done while in the oil change process" mmmm no never, the car has to be running and sprayed into the vacuum hose at operating temp.

why not.....it's not going to hurt a thing, can only help/clean. You may want to change out the plugs (like some people suggest) after the procedure. Remember it does take some time/effort to change out plugs and when so doing many change out the valve cover gaskets and clean the throttle valve and intake opening (where the EGR opening is).
