It is minus 3 degrees below zero F. this morning in my area of Ohio. My Sprinter had been sitting a few days, and I didn't want to try to start it today except I needed to catch the mailman to pay a bill on time. So...
I went out, stuck the key in and turned it...and the engine didn't turn over two times before it started right up and ran smooooth! I was actually surprised, to tell the truth. I have no special cold-weather equipment, etc., but I do use Motor Kote in my oil and I had added a small bottle of Motor Kote Fuel Treatment the last time I filled up...which was last November, by the way. LOL...when I'm not traveling I don't drive much. By the time I had caught the mailman and drove home, my heater was putting out warm air.
This is NOT a commercial for Motor Kote...everyone to his or her own thing, (I just knew somebody would ask.) But as I said, I was surprised it started after sitting about three days in minus zero temps. I don't think my Dodge Ram 3500 would have started if I still had it. I LOVE MY SPRINTER!!!
