You got it! One thing that helps is to change the RPMs a bunch while you're doing it. Helps the fuel go faster and helps clean the injectors more. Hope it works out for you!

The thickness of the oil has nothing to do with it. WVO has slightly different combustion characteristics. I think it combusts slower than diesel... Either way it is known for quieting and smoothing out diesels.

Not sure on the hot/cold thing... hopefully others will chime in!
