But yeah... that's one of the most potent cleaners out there for your engine's internals.. works really well though, as I have heard from others

Make sure you can remove the fill plug BEFORE you drain the fluid, don't ask why I recommend this. You don't really need a lift, but it is easier to refill transaxle if you remove the intake, which is a very straightforward operation.

I never used a lift or removed my intake to replace my tranny fluid.

As for the seafoam, I've heard of people sucking it into the intake manifold using the vacuum hose that attaches to it....I've never used it myself though.

I have a long funnel to refill it with, it is easier to take the intake off for me

I used a hand pump in the oil bottle.

It's also possible to refill where the VSS goes into the tranny, up on top.

Like everyone has probably said, you don't have a carb. As far as fuel injector cleaner? That shit don't work. I know a guy who works for Pepboys and he sells that shit all the time and feels bad for doing it, but oh well. All it does does it deteriorate your catalytic covertor. Go to the dealership and ask for a top end cleaning. It's like 15 bucks for the stuff and 85 for labor. They service the throttle body, intake manifold and head. It gets all the carbon deposits out, which fuel injector cleaner leaves behind. You'll feel a huge diffrence, my car felt new again.
