Glad you are glad. In principle, there is nothing too
unusual here. Ten years ago, my Subaru GL I bought for $200
served entire winter here, in Madison, WI. On average, we have
1.5F colder winters than you guys do. Hope you get more of yours
than I did when the transmission failed in April

When the car is 11years old with > 200k miles and you've only had it in warm
temps so far ... you just never know what's going to happen !

'86GL Wagon

Even when it hits -40 here in ND with Mobil 1 10-40; (sometimes the 15-50
if I've been lazy) I've never even plugged the beast in and she hits first
try. Now when it gets 80+........... runs a bit rich, doesn't like warm
just like me.

Being a fellow North Dakotan, I have to agree w/ pheasant, I run Amsoil 0-50
year round and never even bother plugging my car in, fires up every time.

BUT, wouldn't plugging it in on a 1 hour timer be so much nicer to the
vehicle? TG

Dunno.

Has 110k and the only oil the engine loses is when the valve cover gaskets
start leaking. Those aluminum jugs warm up fast enough for me.

Hi,
It should. Nothing special.
I live in Alberta. 7F temp in winter is humdrum thing.
