I read of carbonized oil on the valves. I presume it is coming from oil flowing through the turbo?

I have noticed some ticking in my 940T (195K)....so,
...yesterday I stopped and put in 1/2 qt of Risilone (to bring oil to proper level). I was a bit cautious about trying anything new with my 'Red Flash' ...but it really seems to have more power, and I can tell that the sound from the valves is quieter.

Did I do good? Should I put the other half in at the next oil change?
