Oil additive engine cleaner?

I'm 200 miles from an oil change. Is there anything I can put in my oil to help clean the inside of the motor? I change my oil on a regular basis (4500 miles) and get good reports from blackstone, but I'd like to ensure the passages are cleaned out close to an oil change.

Knowing how dependent our trucks are on oil, I don't want to cause any damage to seals, gaskets, or my injectors.

Thought I'd ask here...

Personally I don't add anything to the oil. Since it gets ramped up to 3000+ psi to operate the injectors I don't mess with it. I just change it routinely (dino oil changed every 5-6K) so there's some fresh additives in there.

I would never use any additional oil additives other than waht comes already in the approved motor oil

Fair enough. As these motors get older, I just wanted to ensure I can keep it clean and purring on all cylinders.
