Interesting!
I'm wondering if your seafoam opened up the molecules in the tranny fluid and or the MMO, allowing a bit of a super cetane boost sort of condition.
I've done straight MMO purges and the engine loves it. You can burn a lot of junk out of your motor with just MMO and it's cheaper than the actual diesel purge.
The Seafoam engine conditioner stuff is basically the same as diesel purge as the main constituent in both is naptha. This has led me to the notion of concocting my own additive mixture of pure naptha to my tank regularly. It would dissolve anything but rocks stuck in the screen and really clean the fuel system. It'll clog a lot of filters on the way too...
You might want to do an honest diesel purge and a valve adjustment after that run if you think you really burned a good amount of garbage out.
As for the warp drive, could you possibly have experienced a bit of a runaway or did you have full control of the throttle the whole time?
My 220D is from the days before warp drive was installed on Mercedes. She still runs with good old fashioned mules pulling steel rimmed wagon wheels through ruts in the prairie.
