I have a perkins 4-236 diesel in an old backhoe. It needs ether at anything below 50 degrees. Once started it will run all day and restart if not really cold. Been this way for over 10 years and still don't have any trouble with it. Doesn't use oil and it runs good and strong. It is the only one I have that needs ether to start. All the others (6 more diesels) all start ok with litle or no help. Don't know why this one is this way, but I guess it never got weened off the stuff. As for oil, I use 15w40 year round in all of my diesels, but it seldom gets below 0 here.
