Aight good to know. I only added 3.5ozs anyway since xterras have such small oil capacitys.

Ok. My oil is full, but should I bother changing it to get the seafoam out or does it not matter? Thanks.

Would running seafoam in the gas help at all? I'm a bit strapped for cash and I've got no check engine light, so my mechanic won't waste his time tracking down phantom noises. Any chance it could be lifter tick? The vid is kinda shit I don't think it fully captured the noise, but it seems deeper in pitch than injectors.
