You put the seafoam in with the oil.

The effect should look like this until all the sludge is burned off.

You CAN put the seafoam in with the oil, but its mostly used for cleaning the 'upper engine'. Cleans out carbon deposits, etc. As the link that Kyle posted says, you can add it to the throttle body or PCV valve/brake booster line; to the crankcase; and to the gas tank. Here's a thread I found after a quick search on this forum. You'll also find on the thread that if you do put it in the oil you'll want to change it within 100 miles. From what you posted earlier you're going to add it to the TB or vacuum line so an oil change would not affect it.

The TB is by far the easiest, but you will have to unplug the MAF sensor if you hope to have the engine run with the intake plumbing disconnected.
