5.7 Olds diesels have a decal on the air cleaner lid Do Not Use Starting Fluid. The Old diesel and the 617 Mercedes have compression ratios very similar or even the same. I don't use starting fluid and I live in North Dakota where it's colder than a womans heart. I keep my glow plug system in order and I use my block heater. My Mercedes and the Olds always start even down to -20F without starting fluid. Anything lower than that temp I'm content to stay home and dream of better days ahead.
