Quick question about b-12 chemtool

[Samshort0302]

I did a piston soak over the weekend on my 2.4 Kia consuming 1qt/ 400miles. Thus far it seems to have slowed or stopped my burning entirely but i have not drove enough miles to be sure.

Anyway, i am currently very anxious about something. I of course drained my oil and replaced the filter before starting the engine after the soak was complete. However when I check the dipstick I’m noticing the fresh oil smells like the b12. I’m worried that maybe some of it was left in the crankcase somehow. I might just go ahead and change the oil a second time after work tomorrow morning but I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this, I don’t know if that stuff being in my crankcase is gonna melt any seals or anything like that.

Aside from that car runs so much better and mpg has increased 1.8 and no longer smoking out the tailpipe.
Thanks in advance for anyone taking the time to read and offer advice. Money is very tight at the moment but if I you guys think it’s necessary I’ll grab another jug of oil and change it again.

B12 is strong enough to damage gaskets. So your oil change was a very good idea. If you did a good job there won't be much B12 left in the crankcase and any residual B12 should evaporate when you get the oil to operating temperature and keep it there for a period of time.

If I were on a budget I would have done a piston soak using Rislone Engine Treatment because it has a carrier oil, a protective engine oil additive package, and a carbon cleaner/dissolver.

The Berrymans product contains a number of volatile hydrocarbon compounds that have those typical solvent odors and they do linger.

With oil changes, you will eventually get rid of those odors.

I have done piston soaks on all of my three corolla's (2-2009's & 2008) and zero issues using B12. The residual should burn right off after a good couple of heat cycles.

Berrymans will burn off once your oil heats up to operating temp. No need to worry about it. Save the money for the next oil change

I ran our Audi Q7 after a piston soak for 20 min at 1500 RPM while parked in the garage after the soak, I also added a can of BG EPR in the crankcase along with the B12 that ran past the piston and rings down into the crankcase, then I dropped the oil after that. Getting the oil up to temp will boil off any of the B12 if it in the crankcase. Wouldn't be a bad idea to to a BG EPR flush on the next oil change IMO.

Our Audi Q7 consumed a quart of oil in just 400 miles after we purchased it used, we are 1700 miles out now after doing the B12 piston soak, BG EPR flush and switching to the Valvoline Restore & Protect, and it hasn't used any oil at all yet. So things are looking really well for our Audi 3.0 after all that. The Berryman's B12 works well when done properly!

On topic I believe you.
Off topic I noticed a smell of nasty gasoline after 3k with HPL 10w-20 in the crankcase.
The odor went away the next oil change.
