Thanks, I will do that next time. Planning to do it every 20k, part of maintenance...

Default Seafoam

What I have been doing is rotating the service. This oil change is the spray. The next oil change is the pour a bottle in the tank. Rinse and repeat.

I did use in the tank to start with and now I switched to Lucas in the tank every 3 months:

Hard to say what it does because the Seafoam treatment made a clear difference, but it's peace of mind.
