Forgive my newbie-diesel question.
I've read that cold starting a diesel without a block heater causes extra engine wear, especially with an aluminum engine block.
Has anyone ever observed a difference in engine wear by way of UOA, that shows this difference?
(If it were that important, I'm surprised that the manufacturer doesn't require a block heater for most of the country)
