George, the only diesels that need special cavitation protection are "wet sleeve cylinder" diesels. Our engines are not wet cylinder sleeves and therefore don't need anti-cavitation additives. This discussion goes back-and-forth and on-and-on throughout TBN and I don't know why. All you have to do is follow the manufacturer's instructions and you'll be fine. Like my Operator's Manual, yours calls for 50/50 ethylene glycol permanent antifreeze. That's good enough for me despite all the well-meaning, but not very helpful anecdotes you'll get when you mention the subject.
