I wouldn't recommend Seafoaming through the vaccum intake, for Seafoam doesn't recommend doing a combustion chamber treatment after 100K miles. We have a '95 ES300 with about 165K on the odo and I ran Seafoam through the vacuum line... and it started smoking (burning oil) after that. There could have been other factors involved in the smoking, but it didn't start until I seafoamed the engine. When you hit over 150K on an engine, things have kind of worn/seated to a point you may not want to go and start flushing them with solvent.
