I`m not sure about other brands but Lucas has on the label that if you add too much it will not hurt the system in any way.

Overdoing the conditioners won't hurt a thing, unless you've managed to "ungunk" the whole fuel system. Change your fuel filter. I've stuck a gallon of canola oil in mine regularly to clean injectors up, and I don't have any problems other than I know to change the fuel filter every fall

I always fill my fuel filter with straight Lucas on both my diesels when I change them just make sure your engine is warm or it's hard to get started but when warm it fires right up

If you drive it rough, have dusty conditions, or tow a lot, then every oil change or 5000 miles. I change mine every other oil change or 10,000 Miles w/no problems.
