Default Seafoam Question

I Have a 2008 FX4 V8 5.4of course,with 47,000 miles.The oil in it has about 2,600 miles on it since it was last changed.The color of the oil is a medium brown in color and you can still see through it. Ive read on here that seafoam is a mild cleaner and i change my oil every 4,000 miles so i don't think i need kreen.Would it hurt to run some seafoam through the oil? If so how often does everyone run seafoam in their oil?

Seafoam is not a cleaner, it's a solvent. I wouldn't put it in my oil if you paid me.
