Default Ran it for almost 18 hrs straight

So I just ran the 960 for about 18 straight hrs and about 1,200 miles yesterday. Turning it off only to get gas and to grab a bite to eat. It still runs well, but it's idling a little rougher than usual. Nothing too terrible mind you, but still. Last week I took it and got the fuel filter changed out right before I left, and the shop added a quart of oil, which was too much. The oil line is now a little above the hash mark on the dipstick, and I'm getting more blowby than normal. Could running the engine with about 1/8-1/4 of a quart too much oil cause this excess blowby to be sucked into the intake, and gum up my injectors a bit? Would it hurt to run some fuel cleaner through the system?

Yes I believe it would do that....Try the fuel cleaner.

things smoothed out for a little while, then got really bad. I realized I had a wire on one of my coil packs that was being held on by just a single strand of wire, which I'm guessing was the real root of my problem. I'm currently in the process of fixing the wire, and will hopefully have her up and running in the morning.
