Diesels have glow plugs not sparkplugs.
Takes a lot of use of easy start to ruin an engine till it will only start on easy start.
Is the engine consuming more engine oil than normal? Is there blue smoke coming out of the back?
Personally if you are worried about sticky rings, think about an oil and filter change, maybe run an oil cleaner additive for a few days before an oil change.
Have used mineral two stroke in the diesel fuel of jags and made them run better with increased mpg. But then it did coincide with me doing high revs in low gears for an hour as the cars hadn't worked for a long time.
