Aslan213 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Have a 2002 Forester that's parked outside in temps ranging from -20 F in winter to 105 F in Summer. I've had a lot of challenges with this car, but it keeps running. I got the car in California new. The manual is different than the one the dealership showed me up here. We brought the manuals out to settle a disagreement. We both won. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru Scott Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Welcome aboard! Do you use an engine heater when it gets that cold? When I lived in Indiana, I used the ones that went inline in the lower radiator hose. They would always start without it in sub-zero temps, I just liked to have heat when I first got in!

Aslan213 Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 I never tried an inline heater. I use a block heater and it generally will start the car easily down to -10 F. Lower than that, I need to plug in a battery warmer as well. I've noticed that as the car gets older, it needs more help in the winters.
