Default Seafoam, plugs, wires, T/B cleaning

Just a little question. I'm getting ready to do the Seafoam intake cleaning, plugs, Magnecor wires, and throttle-body cleaning.

Do I perform the Seafoam intake cleaning OR replace the plugs/wires first?

Saw a guy do an intake cleaning similar to the one described by Mike only with a can of carb clean instead of Seafoam. The result was a shattered spark plug and scored cylendar.

Trying to avoid the thought of this.

Also, I just changed the oil 2 weeks ago (100 miles, maybe) with synthetic oil / Mobil 1 filter. Do I need to change it again right after the intake cleaning?

Thanks,
David

Doesn't matter what you do first.
Do not use carb cleaner to do the induction cleaning only use it to clean the t/body.
Don't worry about needing to change your oil, you'll be fine.

Clean the throttlebody and then drive it for a day, then do the induction cleaning and drive it for a day and then do the plugs and wires.
