Pierre, You can put the MMO in your gas to act as an upper cylinder lubricant as it will dissolve gummy deposits on valve guides, rings etc., or you can put some in the crankcase to dissolve gummy deposits in valve lifters etc. Some people have had great success by putting some down the spark plug holes of each cylinder and leaving it for a couple of days as it is so good at getting rid of deposits, usually helped by a good blast down the freeway right after. Sort of like a decarbonizing process. With todays gas that may be less necessary as they tend to have solvent additives in them to keep injectors clean. Some people like to pour a little down the throat of a carburettor or suck some in a vacuum pipe at a fast idle as it can clear up some rough running problems due to deposit accumulations. This tends to fog up the neighborhood though! Il faudra l'essayer cette huile une fois. Tu pourras etre surpris par les resultats! Steve
