Default Seafoam...pcv line??

Quick question for you guys...and I'm sure it's going to sound brainless to some of you. I don't know my way around the engine bay too well yet, and I want to use the seafoam that I just bought. Could someone post up a picture with the pcv line circled, or something like that? I just want to make sure I do everything right

Thanks!

Also, do I need to change the oil right afterwards (leaving it for 5 min to soak)? I seem to be finding a lot of conflicting info online.

Pull the rubber line on your throttle body I'll have to search for a picture for you but it's the top one. Once you pull it off the motor will wanna die.
You don't have to change your oil right after and I would let it sit as long as possible. Most people like to do it over night.

The most frequently asked question about using Sea Foam is as follows: “After using Sea Foam in my oil, fuel, or through the vacuum line (to clean carbon from the combustion chamber) do I need to change my oil?” The short answer is: No you don’t have to change your oil after using Sea Foam in any application.

When using Sea Foam in your fuel or through the vacuum line for carbon cleaning your oil does not need to be changed. Using Sea Foam in your oil, at 1 ½ ounces per quart, is a safe way to clean a crankcase, free up rings or free up sticky lifters as you drive. Sea Foam is not a chemical engine flush and therefore, it will not damage internal engine components or plug the oil pick up screen. Sea Foam is a pure petroleum blend with no chemical additives and is safe for long term cleaning or short term pre-service cleaning.

Sea Foam is a blend of highly refined additive oils and is compatible with all motor oils including synthetics. It is safe for all internal engine components and will not affect any seals, gaskets or o-rings. Sea Foam cleans oil deposits and varnish in your crankcase by safely/slowly re liquefying the old oil residue so contaminants may flow and be filtered. The longer Sea Foam is in your oil the cleaner your crankcase will become. When adding Sea Foam to clean oil, for long term maintenance cleaning, you must check your oil periodically for color and clarity, when your oil looks dirty change it. Because you added cleaning oil (Sea Foam) to your oil you may have to change oil before the expected service interval.

When adding Sea Foam to dirty oil before an oil change, for best results use 1 ½ ounces per quart of oil at least 100 miles before oil is changed.
