Personally, I'd advise against putting it in the oil (I bet it wouldn't get along with the bearings very well). Get the Gm stuff like Roque suggested. I think that'* what I'll be picking up Friday and putting in before my oil change Sunday.
I've used Sea Foam in the oil before without any ill effects, there have been a few puffs of smoke from some crap being burned off. And it says on the can that it wont damage O2 sensors, at least mine arent bad since I pull in around 300 miles to 3/4 tank of gas.

So if I do put it in the oil, I shouldn't drive it; just put it in and let it run for a couple minutes and then do the oil change. I'm wondering if it would even do anything like Rague said, oil doesn't go in the cylinders. I'm thinking I should just put it in the gas.

all that putting it in the oil will do is maybe clean the oil passages. You want that stuff going where the power is made (manifolds, cylinders, etc) TRy putting it in the gas or a vacuum line.
