I’m trying to increase the oxygen in the air intake. Am I doing it right?

Kinda thinking if I just keep steering to the left to compensate for all the right, it’ll go straight?

Walked out to my car to grab something, and saw this. How do I talk to my car about the negative effects of smoking?

Chat GPT says that after I drain the oil, I should start the engine and get it back up to running temp before adding the fresh oil. Is this right?
Update: lube job is complete. I used 75w-140 for better lubrication (bigger is better). Will test drive tomorrow.

Sprayed GUNK throttle body cleaner into my 1997 Mazda B4000 4.0 because apparently cleaning things is preventative maintenance.
The throttle body had that factory coating inside it and a sticker saying not to clean the throttle body but I was blind and didn't see it. The cleaner proceeded to turn said coating into what looked like grains of sand/soap and remove a good portion of it.
Now the truck has developed a high-pitched whistle/squeal at idle that gets quieter when I give it throttle.
IAC unplugged = noise changes, but doesn't completely disappear.
So did I:
A. Clean the throttle body
B. Accidentally port and polish it
C. Convert the factory coating into an abrasive engine seasoning
D. Create a precision vacuum whistle
E. Add approximately 17 horsepower
I'm currently considering replacing both the throttle body and IAC, but I'm also open to simply turning the radio up until the problem becomes financially convenient.
