Yeah, that's the way to use it. Using it the wrong way, like I did, [as motor oil flush] on a very dirty engine washed about 2" of sludge buildup into the bottom of the oil pan.

add a half quart of trans fluid and change the fluid after about 1k or so miles. the detergents in the trans fluid will pick up all contaminants and place them in the filter.

i used rislone on my jeep and it was nasty...i'd done a valve cover job and carbon mess was built up so bad it was like sound deadening foam in the cover...any way, i scraped all that mess out and flushed with rislone. after about 500 miles i changed the oil and as it happened my 'oem' gasket had failed so i went with a silicone gasket and had to do the job again. after the 500 miles the top end was clean as new. it was awesome. had a little staining they way sludged oil will do (aluminum turns brown or blackish) but nothing like the mess it was when i cleaned the 'foam carbon' out.

oh, and my oil filter weighed almost 10lbs...and i cut it open and it was full of the crap. so i put a new on on and went to town, changing it again at 500mi. again, it was full of that crap. so i changed it again and it stayed pretty much clean after that. but, my jeep had almost 200k miles on it and wasnt kept very well so i'm sure you wont have that kind of problem

on another note...seafome is awesome. i run it in tank every 20k or so.
