Aye, engine oil has to be at a minimum temperature before they can do the test.
80*C iirc.

Put some 2-stroke oil in it.

It'll clean it out whilst giving it lube, some peeps say put petrol in with the deisel to clean out top end, yes but it will strip the lube from the top of your cylinders and you don't want to do that.
