Best Answer

Most antifreeze will work in any engine. For diesel engines in general, use a good long life coolant that includes nitrates (red stuff). For regular (green) coolant, most diesel manufactures require you to add your own nitrates or DFCA to this mix to prevent pitting of the cylinder liners. Check with your engine manufacturer for specifics.
