I think it has to be on so it sucks/pulls the solution onto the heads....

When you start it, drive it around the neighborhood.....it will smoke like a freight train!
I love the stuff, but I wouldn't put it in my oil AT ALL!

I put it in my gas tank every oil change as part of the preventative maintenance. I have never put it in my crank case.
I change my oil myself and add some Marvel Mystery Oil to the crank case.
This is in a 99 Tacoma 4 cyl 2.7 liter. I bought it literally with 17 miles on it and have never had a problem other than tires, battery, and changed the starter a year ago.
