Will Seafoam and other injector cleaners mess with my premix solution?

I switched to pre-mixing with no OMP when I first got the car a little over a year ago.

Right before switching I had some injectors cleaned up by Cruzin' and everything has been running great. I figured I should run some injector cleaner through the system regularly as part of my maintenance and a local rotary guy was recommending Seafoam which I have used in my older carburated vehicles and it worked very well. I have also heard that the Redline cleaner is good as well.

My only concern is that whatever solution I choose will screw with my premix solution and possibly break it down thus rendering it useless for engine lubrication.

Seafpam is also touted as an "top end engine lubricating agent" and being that it also says right on the bottle (and I have done this many times with many engines) that you can mix 1/3-1/2 of a can into your "crank case" I would feal pretty safe that it will not chemically break down the premix oil.

Seafoam is realy safe stuff. And it works. Cant say that about much of anything else. Most "injector cleaners" out there do not do squat. Seafoam and chevron pro guard are the only ones proven to have any effect in tests. Pro guard is not safe for all cars though as some people have had problems with it....
