Well I personally find it hard to squirt into that little vacuum hose when the car is off...so I just spray the whole lot in while the car is running

do this just before you change your oil in case any of the contaminates find there way into the oil

owen, I did mine with the engine off the foam builds up inside, doesn't like it when it starts though ha ha

ive used this stuff to clean egr valves and it works great
