    Be careful. My engine went when I tried it. Most people have better luck with it than I did, though.

    Something about sucking stuff through a vacuum line doesn't sit right with me.
    Use BG products. 44k and MI3000

    I used it at about 125xxx miles, and I"m up to 150xxx miles now. Just put it straight into the gas tank. That's what the bottle should say.

    ok maybe ill just put in in the gas then i was skeptical too about it i watched someone do it on a 03 matrix with 1zzfe and it worked nice but i was still very skeptical about doing it

    also how much should i put into the gas the whole thing or just some of it

    Read the can. It's a certain amount of ounces for each gallon, or something. Just read carefully and follow the instructions. It really works.

    The bottle has several options...in with the gas, in with the oil, or in through the carb/TB/vac line.

    Ok. I went through the gas tank (heard it was the best way to do it).

    Nope. No smoking that I can remember. Car has been running fine ever since (ran fine before, but I was told it's a good thing to use when you're at that much mileage).
