Thanks sgtslag,
I already have the tank topped up with the seafoam mixed in, and the Rotella T6 in the engine.  After putting it in I started to notice oil leaks that weren't there before, so I'm guessing that is the detergents that are revealing where my seals/gaskets are going.  My garage isn't heated, so I am only planning on working in there during November or during unseasonably warm spells.  Otherwise Dec-Feb will be way too cold.

Given how much trouble I've had starting it when it's only been close to zero, I doubt I'll even attempt to start it when it's even colder.

Thanks for all the tips guys.
