You use one of the vacuum ports on the throttle body to suck it in.

I usually put about 1/3 a can in at a time, let it sit for half an hour or so. Then restart it and drive it till it stops smoking (or close to it). Then repeat a few more times till you have as little smoke as possible. More smoke = more stuff being cleaned out. So once the smoke gets lighter means it is getting cleaner.

Doesn't really matter. Driving it usually makes the smoke go away faster. Just wait till it is mostly gone before doing the treatment again.

Also you can use the throttle to keep the engine running till you get ~1/3 a can in there. If you don't have enough in the engine it won't do much good.

Basically, It will still smoke some but it will not be near as thick or last near as long. You can tell after you do it a few times that it is done.

I like to drive it around for a day or so after the final treatment to get rid of everything (can take that long) and then change the oil as some seafoam does tend to get in there.

I never recommend putting it in the oil, it works great in the gas and intake since there is nothing it can really hurt there but there is a lot it could possibly hurt in the oil so i prefer to not do that.
