Russ,
I don't know what's your final decision is on the 600hrs service, but coolant replacement is part of it. This is why I didn't bother buying it separately.
In regards to the additives I'm not sure where the $300 come from. Perhaps you missed the labels like "Shock Treatment" and "Maintenance Treatment". I spend no more than about $30-$40 when using all 3 additives. Here's what I use:
1. http://www.amazon.com/Power-Service®-Diesel-Cetane-Additive/dp/B002NV4XXE
2. http://www.mwfi.com/Fuel-Additives/Bionical.html
