I doubt starter fluid will wash away much more oil than the regular
gasoline that is dispersed within the cylinder at EVERY intake

Also, even if ti does, it is an unmeasurable amount. Starting fluid is
more of a test to determine if a problem is fuel, spark, compression.

Hank ~~~uses starting fluid occasionally
