A friend of mine runs straight VO in his Mercedes diesel. I can testify to what was already said. You want to start up and shutdown on diesel and switch to VO after you are at temp.

My friend with the Mercedes thought that it was warm enough here in San Diego to not worry about it. His car ran fine for months. Eventually letting the car shutdown on VO did some damage to the engine. He replaced the rings, started using diesel for start up and shutdown, and has been problem free ever since.
