Gas tank and oil is fine. Just make sure you change the oil within 50 miles or so after the oil treatment. The PCV should connect from the top of the throttle body to the driverside oil crankcase cover. You'll want to take off the engine cover so you can easily get access to it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

that was great put it down the pvc valve waited 10 mins then drove around the block.
The look on the neighbors faces when they saw me was priceless. I filled her up and waited another 10 mins and did it again

Added it to used oil tho, figure i'd just get it changed tomorrow and added some to the gas tank too

hahahahaha the smoke was awesome.

Anyone know the danger of waiting until 84k to switch to synthetic oil in our cars?

Theres no danger. 84k miles is nothing. I've done many switch and have yet to had a single problem. In fact, my last car had synthetic change at 150k miles and it had no leak. I check the oil level every week and there was no hints of oil burning.

If your car leaks oil after the change, you have the seals to blame, and not the oil itself. After all, synthetic does more good than harm.
