How many miles on seafoam

I have a 2010 Civic EX-L and I added a little less than half a bottle of seafoam in my engine oil today. At this time, oil life is 20%.
How long can I keep driving before going for an oil change. I have read some posts where people say anywhere from 50 miles to 500 miles.

Any suggestions?

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: How many miles on seafoam

What on Earth made you think this was necessary?

There is no need for that if the proper spec oil is used, and changed at least as often as the maintenance minder says to.

I'd consider that a contaminant in my oil. I would get rid of it right now if it was mine.

I had ready on a lot of forums that doing this is good around 41k miles. Car did feel smoother after adding it today.
