i agree.  if at that time it still reads uneven, try some gunk brand
motor flush at the next oil change.  it did a marvelous job on my
grandmother's old mercedes when my brother bought it - brought a weak
cylinder up to normal and got a dead cylinder firing.  [not perfect
but moved the rebuild off the crisis list]
