Misinform more?

Supposed to be 1/3 in crankcase, 1/3 in a vacuum line, and 1/3 in fuel tank. And with the fuel, I'd do it when you're almost empty, then fill it right up (just like any other fuel injector cleaner).

With the crankcase, change the oil immediately after driving it for a bit (I'd say 25-50 miles).

With the vacuum line, just make sure you let it sip it and don't just pour it down. And don't let the car die out. Sip, let the idle go back up, sip, let the idle go back up, etc. until it's all in. It's also easier to have someone else help you by pressing on the gas to prevent the car from dying.

That's what I do. Treat it like regular fuel injector cleaner. Not like sputtering-almost-empty-and-close-to-having-to-push-you-car-into-the-gas-station close. But yeah just near empty.

Not sure if it really matters but fuel injector is used that way so that's what I've always done.

It works, and yes it will help clear up the sludge/carbon that builds up (injectors, valves etc.) be prepared to have leaks if your motor is held up by carbon and sludge though
