Low silicate anti-freeze is usually required for diesel engines. If the engine has sleeves the explanations JerryMT,Joe and fixerupper gave are correct. The additive "DCA" is required to forestall the damage. If you want to just add the additive yourself, your local Ford dealer parts dept sells it. The premixed diesel anti-freeze is the best option as stated. I don't use the test kit, it's just easier to change the stuff and take the drained anti-freeze to the recycling center every two years. The cost is small compared to re-sleeving an engine, and repairing whatever else damage it caused.
