i would think you use all synthetic fluids. is that right? they sure flow easily at zero degrrees F.

siamiam

i use as much synthetic fluid as i can, i flows "easier" but even at -50F or colder things dont flow as well

its ironic to see your anti freeze, freeze :P a couple of winters ago when my winter car was a 300zx i had the problem of its ckutch and brakes freezing when i came off the highways. the clutch pedal would stick to the floor and the shifter would get frozen in to gear a lot of times the power steering would turn in to sludge also.

one year i forgot to plug my 323GTX in and it froze soild, i couldnt even get the dip stick out of the car because it was frozen in to the oil, i had to get a pan and light charcoal coals in it and put it under the car for an hour just to thaw it out. my car smelled like a BBQ for weeks :P

i assume you guys all run synthetic fluids to keep them flowing. correct? how does synthetic oil do at -30?

siamiam

at -30 it can still get solid but its still way better than regular dino oil.

first sorta cold weather report, low 30s at night and the heater works great of course this isnt nothing compared to how cold it will get soon

the drivers side heated seat doesnt feel very warm

siamiam

went outside to my car friday night and found that my maroon Lexus was now white, i really hate snow

i let the car warm up for a bit and it thawed most of the snow off. i need to get some new snow tyres soon, the traction control works decently

If you are someone who hates snow, I'd say you are probably living in the wrong part of the world.
So, you've got running water in your cabin - and running icecubes during the winter?

I was born in Churchill, Manitoba, Canada (polar bear capitol of the world!) so I can sympathize with ya

siamiam

yeah those polar bears can bea real pain in the butt, i had a few run ins with them out on the North Slope a few years back

showers in my cabin can be a bit cold sometimes
