Question More oil in chamber == more carbon?

I understand that most of you recommend flooring the accelerator everyday to clear the carbon buildup in the chambers.
About that recall update for the firmware, is it supposed to inject more oil to seal the compression better? Well, if there are more oil, the combustion will of the oil+gasoline mixture will create more carbon, wouldn't it? Would this update accelerate the rate of carbon buildup in the chambers, though?

It's set to add more oil under certain conditions when needed.

Mainly at cruise
