I have also used fogging oil successfully for years on outboard engines. We always introduced it directly into the carb until the engine shut down completely. Going directly into the cylinder I'm sure would work great in a auto application. Scott, you wouldn't be the Scott Jarvis formerly with McCaw would you?
