Default another sea foam...i know i know.

Sorry, I know there have been like 300000000 sea foam threads. But I just wanted to say I
am very very skeptical of sea foam. I think its just the 100% pure petroleum that makes all the smoke and whatever, but I've never actually seen it in stores or anything, and I was in an Auto Zone today and saw it on the counter for 6 bucks, so I said what the heck. I bought myself a can. I guess we'll see how it goes. I've read I need to put it through the PCV valve with a vaccum line or something? What exactly do I need? Where can I find the PCV valve? What is that? And finally, how should I distribute it, 1/3 bottle through PCV, 1/3 in gas tank and, 1/3 in the oil??

For sure, do I need some kind of tube? Where can I find the PCV valve? I get the engine warm, then just pour it in?
