Okay, I’m impressed. I took my new Cruze to Banff National Park yesterday, and the temperature overnight dropped to -37°C. That was 9 degrees lower than what had been forecast. There was nowhere to plug in the oil pan heater. It was -36 when I started it up — and it started like nothing was different than when it was kept in a heated garage. I like that.

About half the tank was Husky diesel, and the other half was Petro-Canada diesel. No additives.
And one more follow-up: I was impressed enough by the engine’s cold-start performance that I sent a LinkedIn message to Michael Siegrist, the GM engineer who was the assistant chief engineer for the Cruze diesel engine. (The chief engineer is someone in Italy, I believe.) I shared essentially the same story that I told here. He actually wrote a brief reply, which was clearly not a canned response. That impressed me too.
There is a good, lengthy interview with Mr. Siegrist on YouTube here.
