I have never read the directions on how to use it in the crankcase .

From your post it seems it's ran longer than just idle for a few minutes ?

Yeah, some F-body guys run it for 500 miles or so. Some people run it for more. The instructions in the bottle do not specify time or duration, just quantity.

I poured some in my lawnmower oil and it's been there for couple months now, but I wouldn't do that with any of my vehicles.

I think it would all cook out long before 500 miles. /shrug

Do you plan on cleaning your combustion chambers with it as well?

I doubt it would cook out. Once any additive is mixed with the oil, it doesn't seem to freely disappear.
I've been able to drive with various chemicals added to the oil. Even with several hundred miles of driving, the oil stayed overfilled by the amount added.
