We've got block heaters!

We've got block heaters!
I read a thread on freshalloy about a block heater being standard on the G35 - and checked my sedan - yep, there is one with the socket hidden in the lower front intake on the drivers side. It's fun seeing the Southern US people asking what a block heater is and why they would need one. Anyway, after the recent cold snap here in Toronto I'm glad to have it.

Yeh man, looking at the front of the car on the right down low in behind the bumber, stick your hand thru and fish around you'll find the plug end. Like I said maybe an hour is all it takes in the morn--- makes the world of difference....... Later

Re: We've got block heaters!
Its best to use the block heater no longer than 4hrs max. Like
it was previously said, after that is just a waste of energy.
Get a timer( Can. Tire has them).
My last car had a block heater. What a blessing to have when
it gets really cold out . Its not nice to have frozen fingers at
6am!!!
I used it(the block heater) for nine years without any problems and I still have the same timer.
I haven't used the block heater on the G yet. It's only been cold here in T.O for a couple of days and I'm using synthetic
oil so there hasn't been any problems mechanically. Just a few new rattles here and there.

Re: We've got block heaters!
You should start using the block heater at work at -10 or -15 if they turn the power on. Easier on the engine in general and slightly better gas consumption since the engine isn't quite so cold. Do you pay for your parking spot? If so, all the more reason to be kind to your engine.
