1/3 sucked through the brake booster vacuum line. Let it sit 5 minutes, then be prepared for a smoke show.
Another 1/3 in your crankcase...change oil after about 2000 miles.
Use the remaining 1/3 in about 1/2 tank of fuel.
Seafoam is great to use to keep the engine and intake clean...it really is all it says it is.
There is a thread on a Mercedes site I frequent all about it...if it's good enough for my Mercedes, it's plenty good enough for my truck.

lol, i tried to use 1/3rd but couldnt pour it in fast enough to choke the motor out, got it to bog down so to say but that was it......i poured about 1/2 to 5/8ths into mine and shut off with the key, let it sit for 20 minutes....
talk about smoke when i started her back up !....try to pick a day the wind is blowing just right aimed at an unfriendly neighbors house, lol.....
also, try not to do this on a dead calm day, you need a little wind or your going to make your house disappear with all the smoke !!
it made a huge difference in the way my truck acted and responded.....very highly recommend it !
also, every other tank i use a bottle of it with the gas, that too has helped the injectors out a lot from since when i got it...
i havent tried it in the oil or tranny yet, but im confident same type results would be had
GOOD STUFF !
EDIT: my mechanic friend told me the smoke is from loosened up carbon deposits, and the more it smokes the more it needed a treatment
