You can run redline fuel system cleaner with no problems. If you want more lubrication i would use premix.

do bg44k once as a sort of "shock treatment"

then run 1.5oz of LP+ (to maintain the clean motor after the bg44k treatment) with ~4oz of premix (for the extra lubration).

for ultra overkill use some lc20 in your oil.

+1 cleans out that carbon buildup... I swear I can tell the difference after a tank full of BG44K...
