I use it and still have plenty of heat in the winter. As I mentioned, it will not reduce the temp of a t-stat controlled engine
as the t-stat will adjust to keep the temps at its operating temp. I also find a diesel engine does put out a lot of heat when
its at full throttle and high RPMs. That's where the wetting agents help to reduce cavitation and localized boiling around hot
spots inside the engine. Granted, most of the time a diesel puts out a lot less heat than a gas engine, since most driving is
done at part throttle and that's where a diesel is very efficient and a gasser is not.
