Found this video that might answer your question, this is actually a rep from seafoam. says that the reason why you might have had more carbin buildup than your friend

that is funny picture at the end of the vid. he's flashing a gang sign and a little bit of cash while squatting in front of his pos 20 year old van.
the rep lied too, dude asked if it would be ok to run with a half can of seafoam in his oil until the next oil change and the "retired ASE tech" said that it would be fine. now i've been told that you should change the oil within a couple hundred miles because it will degrade the oils lubrication properties pretty quick.

well here it is from the seafoam site.
so if the pre service cleaning didn't get all the crap out then you will have to change your oil again pretty quick.
so i guess the guy didn't lie. the picture is still funny though.
Using in Crankcase Oil
Sea Foam Motor Treatment may be used in an oil crankcase 2 separate ways, depending on your needs and expectations. Sea Foam Motor Treatment is most commonly used as a pre-service, old oil residue re-liquefier / cleaner and moisture drier. It can also be used as an after-service oil additive. In either application, Sea Foam Motor Treatment will safely and slowly re-liquefy old oil residue. Each method is described below:

Sea Foam Motor Treatment may be used in an oil crankcase 2 separate ways, depending on your needs and expectations. Sea Foam Motor Treatment is most commonly used as a pre-service, old oil residue re-liquefier / cleaner and moisture drier. It can also be used as an after-service oil additive. In either application, Sea Foam Motor Treatment will safely and slowly re-liquefy old oil residue. Each method is described below:
- As a pre service cleaner for old oil residue, sticky rings or valve train noise, pour 1 ½ ounces of Sea Foam Motor Treatment into the engine oil crankcase for EACH quart of oil capacity, including filter. Drive a MINIMUM of 30 minutes/miles, MAXIMUM 100 miles, and then do your oil change service – Lube, Oil & Filter (LOF). This begins the process of safely/slowly re liquefying the old oil residue so contaminants may flow and be filtered. This also makes your old oil dirtier, quickly, so a LOF service is necessary when the oil gets dirty. Great for Turbocharged & Supercharged applications where oils deteriorate so quickly due to heat, and leave those residues that NEED CLEANING.
- As an after service additive into fresh oil, nearly fresh oil, or oil (used condition) that is NOT ready to be changed (based on mileage since last oil change), put the same amount of Sea Foam Motor Treatment into the crankcase as described above, and then regularly monitor your oil for color and clarity. Set a predetermined schedule for checking the oil condition on a mileage, timed, or event basis (like every time you add fuel, etc.) to determine when an oil service is necessary. Monitoring of the oil for color and clarity will tell you when it is time to do an oil change service. NOTE: Do not exceed 3,000 miles without changing the oil.
Remember! When Using Sea Foam in Your Crankcase:
- Check your oil and monitor its color & clarity to determine need for LOF service!
- Change your oil when it gets dirty!
