Rooster2 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Only thing I can think of is to make sure your antifreeze offers protection down to -20 to -25. You can buy a cheap antifreeze tester at any auto parts store. Ez to operate, ez to read the result. You will need to have a battery in good condition. An old weak battery will let you down when temp is below zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) make sure you use a weight of oil appropriate for winters there. I guess make sure your tires are OK for that environment too. If possible, consider installing an engine warmer/'block heater' w'ever they are called. Edited July 21, 2014 by 1 Lucky Texan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartless Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 check your owners manual for recommended viscosities in temps below the freezing point. you may be fine with the 10w30, or it may recommend something else. Here in Wisconsin it can get to -20 F for a week or two at a time, -10s and -teens are common - we change oil viscosity in the spring and fall, thicker for summer heat, thinner for winter cold.
