I doubt that oil additive did its magic in that short of a time...but maybe. Seems like the block heater was the root of the problem.

Did you give any thought to an oil pan heater? At -26 it makes a huge difference.
The block heater was likely the majority of the fix, although I do think the additive has had some effect. Now that the block heater is doing the job would I still see a difference using an oil pan heater?

Your engines main and rod bearings will certainly thank you for it!

I use an "Intermatic" outlet timer so the MB's block heater only is on for a couple hours each morning. The poor old girl is parked outside :(

As far as injectors, I've been told stick to the Motorcraft stuff. They are on Ebay fairly cheap at times.
