My father had a Mercedes-Benz LA 1113B, (commercial truck), and it had an ether system mounted from the factory. A special thing where you mounted the spray can to fill up the system, and then it was a special way to use it. I guess if you use it as per an instruction from the factory, and the engine is built to withstand it, then it is ok. But, not all engines are made that strong. And not all people even has a factory instruction of how to use it. I have used it once in a while, but I have always been told that it widens the ring gap for the top ring.
I am not going to say that Caterpillar and other factories are wrong and should not have mounted it, but I do know that sometimes factories do things they maybe not should have done or recommended. Things that later have proven to be not such a good idea. What I really know for sure is that heating the engine up to a higher temperature is doing wonders for an engine, both lubricating, emissions and ease of start is benefiting from it.
