Be sure to test the level with a test strip, and at the right temp after adding the additive.
Without testing the level, there is no way to be sure there is proper level for protection.

I don't know on the 7.3's maybe somebody should investigate this, but on big diesels they claim having too much additives is as bad as not having any so we use the test strips and add accordingly.
I have wondered if using a water filter like we use on the big rigs would help.
