I would do an oil change, just to be safe.

I am sure you didnt do any damage.

In the Future, they make TB and Carb cleaners, that you can spray into with the engine running, Cleans them out pretty good and the spray and subquent "varnish and carbon" just get burned up without any issues.

The cleaner of any brand are all under $5, so well worth it rather than using oils #1 enemy Water
