Good stuff, you will be glad you did.
I would definitely have the car plugged in during those -50C temps. I plug mine in when it gets -10C or colder.

 

FWIW, Found this at the top of the page as one of our internal advertisers:

Good plan Asad. Definitely don't start the car unnecessarily, especially in the cold. The block heater doesn't need to be on all the time unless you don't care about energy use. Just plug it in 3-4 hours before use or use a timer if you're on a more regular schedule. If it's really cold and/or there is a stretch of cold temps leave it on. Otherwise it will take much longer to warm the engine.

 

This may be your best bet:

^ I like that a lot. For a protected oil pan that should work well.

 

Maybe you might want to invest in a "timer" so as to not leave the block heater on all of the time.

 

Bill, see my post above.

 

Saturday...brain doesn't work that well!!!!

 

Mine too sometimes, especially if I have a hankering for some ales Friday.

 

You get those hankerings too I just popped the cap on a Rickards Red a few minutes ago

 

LOL, you betcha. I had some RR last night. I'm going to wait another 45 minutes though. Too early and I die by 8pm!!

 

I have to take it easy this afternoon myself, we have two partys to go tonight and they are about 10 miles apart.

 

Nothing to say, I just smelled beer.

 

With a nose like that we could make you a Maritimer pretty easy.

 

Just getting warmed up eh????
