Maybe I should have clarified better, as in keeping the RPM's about 3.5k for longer periods... like when pulling a hill! lol
It's actually a wide road and not residential (it has inlets to residential neighborhoods), that usually doesn't have very much traffic, and almost no foot traffic. The only danger is if someone decides to make a right or left in your path, like this idiot did. That said, the road is big enough that I saw him a block away. Safety first!

Okay guys, another question and I'll stop bugging you. Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere but I'm one of those clumsy types who has a hard time finding stuff.
Anyways, I've got the CRC GDI intake valve and turbo cleaner and was told to put it into the brake booster line... but now I'm reading elsewhere that doing it in the brake booster line doesn't cover all of the valves etc due to the design of the engine and that I need to do it in another hole.
Is there another place to spray this that provides more coverage? Someone told me" spraying it into the brake booster line or into the intake partially cleans one side, leaving the rest dirty", and then the person goes into some technical stuff as to why.
Where's this stuff go?
Thanks.

There's a port behind the throttle body that's capped in NA market, but used for right-hand drive models' brake booster. It's located ahead of the split between the banks and theoretically would give a better dispersion, but the brake booster method every oil change interval works fine for me. Eventually you'll reach all of it

I sprayed most of it into this hole, plus a little in the brake booster line. Hope I didn't spray it in the wrong hole LOL
and destroy my engine. A guy walking down the road who seen what I was doing stopped and looked and was like" yo, put it in this hole, it's going to the same place"

How much oil are you adding every 1200 miles. The normal or accepted range is 1 quart every 600 miles

It's within "normal range" according to lexus. Even though that doesn't seem normal, it's what they say.. sooooo...

Run a compression test. Let me know what the results of each cylinder are.

But here is what the results should fall within if i remember correctly Standard compression pressure:

1.4 MPa 14 kgf*cm 2 , 199 psi or more

Minimum pressure:

0.98 MPa 10.0 kgf*cm 2 , 142 psi

The difference between each cylinder: 0.1 MPa 1.0 kgf*cm 2 , 15 psi or less
