all anti freezes are not the same, and diesel engines require more attention and special additives than a gas engine. That's why on "real" trucks when they change the oil they also put a new pre-charged coolant filter in, and use test strips to test it. The cooling ability does not go away, but the compression is so high in diesel engines if you do not add something like FW-15 you will end up with cylinder caviation, which is why so many people have had problems with the older IH 7.3 engines in the Fords. I'm a believer in changing my oil, and if it says change the anti freeze every five years in gas engines, and test it in diesels, I do that. But then I also change the brake fluid in my vehicles every 5-10 years too..
