If you want to prolong the life of any engine the best thing you can do is plug it in and warm it up before starting.

If at all possible avoid using starting fluid with the glow plugs. I know someone is going to say they do it all the time with no problems. Well they just haven't had a problem YET. And the problems it can cause are not only costly but dangerous.

Check out the glow plugs with a test light. It is a simple check. Clip the test light to the positive battery terminal and touch the other end to the center of the glow plug-not to the outside. If it lights the glow plug should be good.

If everything is in good working order, cold weather starts shouldn't be a problem.
