Don't put anything in the oil filler tube. It will only push the oil out the rear main.Make sure the cap and tube are allowing the crankcase to breath freely.Use any 10-30, 10-40, 20-50 detergent oil you use in your modern cars.

Put an old gym sock over the cap and tube. Now go out and drive it couple of hundred miles vigorously. Climb a few hills. You don't have to do it all at once.

The sock will become a mess. Throw it away as many times as you need to. Keep an eye on the oil level and don't let it go below the add mark.

If your condition is not greatly improved, you can now think of taking the engine apart.
