I was interested until I read that bit. I'm not sure if that would be the best thing for the Diesel Cruze as it needs to be at full operating temp to perform the regen cycle. It barely got to it last winter during the super cold mornings.
AMSOIL Coolant Boost Provides Faster Heat
It's that time of year again. You go outside, see your breath in the air, get in your car, and realize your engine takes forever to get heat blowing through the vents.
Fortunately, there's a solution, and for all you new people that haven't heard of it, it's called AMSOIL Coolant Boost. I make one promotional thread every year for it, and this is it. Note: Coolant Boost has been reformulated since last year and is even more effective.
This product uses surfectants to improve the thermal transfer between your coolant and metal surfaces, which means it pulls heat away from your engine faster and transfers it through your heater core faster so you aren't freezing down the road on cold mornings.
The only drawback is your engine takes longer to get to full operating temp, but for anyone who has had to drive the Cruze in sub-freezing temperatures, you'll gladly take faster heat in the cabin.
One 16-oz bottle treats 16 quarts of antifreeze. Our 1.4T has 5.8 quarts, so one bottle gives you enough coolant boost for two vehicles. Add coolant boost once per year or every 30,000 miles, whichever comes first.
AMSOIL Coolant Boost is safe with all coolants, including Dexcool. Members of CruzeTalk have been using it for years without any adverse effects, and significantly improved warm-up times.
