PCV stands for Positive crankcase ventilator. I think you contaminated your oil.
That's why you're supposed to change your oil after sea foaming your vehicle.

Your PCV system operates by pulling vacuum from the intake manifold through the valve cover which evacuates any fuel vapors that may accumulate from unburnt fuel getting past the piston rings into the oil pan.
These fumes will naturally make their way up the engine into the valve cover area where a properly functioning PCV valve will suck said fumes back into the intake manifold for burning.
As for this guys claims of Seafoam only getting in some cylinders,I don't buy it.
He's just trying to come off as some sort of know it all.
During engine operation the inside of the I.take manifold is under vacuum and any liquid substance Introduced into this atmosphere is turned into a fine mist from the turbulence.
I've broken down many motors in my life pre and post seafoam and have seen the stuff break up 1" thick carbon deposits stuck in EGR passages.
This is the only quick fixing a bottle I would ever recommend pouring into an engine besides Barsleak for small coolant leaks.
Edit: good morning people

I would never be able to find that on my Silverado. Thank God for the spray can.

I think you idiots just wanna see your shite smoke.

It's the little thing poking out the valve cover with a vacuum line on it.
I'd stick with the spray can though. There's no advantage to using the vacuum line method. It's the same shite going to the same place if you spray the aerosol into the intake.

Hey Genius,
If I wanna see my shite smoke, I'm taking a dump in a park at 30 degrees.
