Using Seafoam in 2004 9-5 Arc

I have not used additives in my Saabs but am contemplating adding Seafoam to both the crankcase and the gas tank. (Seabreeze has had very good effects in my Jeep GCs and my small 4 cycle engines)
It has 85K miles and my thinking is as follows:
Crankcase: Helps to dissolve the accumulated sludge that may have formed over the years - I have changed oil using Mobil 1 (and filter) between 5K and 8K.
The engine seems to have gotten a little noisier over the years and am thinking the lifters may be a little sludged up....Given Seabreeze is a 'gentle' agent, I don't think it would harm the turbo bearings...
Anybody ever try this???
Gas tank: Cleaning of varnishes in the fuel system, mainly injectors.
Comments appreciated, especially from someone who has used Seabreeze or any other additive...
