Hi eferwerda, There's oil and anti-freeze rated for diesel engine use, that is very important to any diesel engine. Using the correct air filter s also impotrant. Here in AZ I use Chevron Delo for the oil and Fords "gold anti-freeze" ($5gal) as both are rated for diesel use and easy to find local. Oil on most dirt equipment should be changed at 100hrs of use. The Ford anti-freeze is good for 5yrs. Winter fuel can be 10% gasoline with 90% #2D, or buy Power Service to mix with #2d fuel and/or buy winter diesel when available ( a mixture of #1d and #2d) and should be used at 20º or lower temps if you don't want the fuel to gell. If you ever gell a diesel, you will not gell one a second time as it's alot of work to get them to restart once the fuel gell's. It's just like jello pudding! If the engine restarts easy, then cracking open the injector nuts to bleed air is not required. All diesel injection supply's more fuel that the system uses and the excess is returned to the tank. Never long crank a diesel, over 10sec, but find the problem and correct it. T_Bone
