1/3 in ur gas tank, 1/3 in ur oil and the restu just suck up with ur brake booster hose. all you do is start the motor and put a penny inbetween the throttle stop and the tb cam, this will make it idle around 2000 rpm... .then you take the vac line from your brake booster and lower it into the bottle sucking a little bit up untill you hear the motor start to bog down... when it does lift the tube and let it come back to idle... then let it suck some more up slowly... repeat that till the bottle is gone... then let it run for about 15 secs once you get it all in... then the most important part... turn the car off and put the hood down... let it sit for 15 mins... after 15 mins start it up and drive it for about 20 mins in normall driving no fast driving... it may smoke a bit, so you may want to use side streets...that what i would do if i was u.

I've done it a couple times to my car. All you have to do is unplug that vacuum line while the car is on and stick it in the cup, it will suck it all in before you can blink. I usually rev the car a bit from under the hood as i stick the vacuum hose into the cup. The car will most likely die when you do it and then all you do is just wait 15 minutes and start it up. I've also put as much as 2/3 of a can of seafoam in my vacuum line and it's fine... just takes a couple minutes longer before you can start it. Here is a video if it works... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zahG6JwcH3o My mom looked out our front window and couldn't see across the street when i was done. I also think that was the first time my car had ever been seafoamed (hence the black smoke).
