Give it a try.
Our engines do not have push rods and lifters, but the valve adjusters are similarly designed.
There is a sticky in the TSB and How-to Articles on how to change the adjusters.

Found it. Think I'll just let that adjuster tap! It's not that bad and from what I'm reading it's a major dive into the valve train and timing chain loosening etc. Thank you for clueing me in overhead cams maintenance.
Maybe I'll just add a lot of really fine sawdust into the oil. That should quiet it down! LoL

HOW COULD I NOT REMEMBER THAT THE ENGINE IS AN OVERHEAD CAM ENGINE!!!! I'VE ONLY OWNED MY FIRST XFIRE SINCE 2021.

See my post above. The adjusters are "similarly designed" so yes they work much like a lifter.
Next time you are nearing an oil change put a quart of Dexron ATF in the oil and run it the last couple hundred miles with the ATF in the oil. Then change the oil as you normally would. It may just work and it won't hurt anything.

well i already changed my oil a couple days ago. Watching the video "they" say add 20% of mmo and run. It until the next oil change which would be 7k for me. It is thinner than my 5w-40 but should not do any harm. One quart of dexron atf should be used in the same manner i'm guessing. Both are supposed to clean up the valve train and other engine deposits. What ya think?
