is there nything I should put in my FC for the winter to make it run better?? I am still driving it because it doesnt snow, but re there any tips??

 

Snow tires if it snows, 10W-30 oil. Maybe a block heater, but I've never had problems. Should really be all you need.

Avoid long warm ups. Start the car, let it idle for 30 seconds, then drive. Drive easy until it comes up to temp.

Oh, and lubricate your keyholes, handles and latches with white lithium grease to help prevent freezup.

 

ok, thanks a lot, I dought it will snow, and if it does I wont drive it. I'llb prolly put some grease on the key holes and stuff around decmber1, thats when it starts to freeze around here

 

Can I ask why??

Yes, I'd like to know why avoid long warm ups?

I usually warm up my car 10 or more minutes. it's fckin freezin in the winter. I want a tropical temp inside when I drive on winter.

 

Avoid long warm ups.......i dotn get it eather. i let my old 1990 maxima worm up for like 2 or 3 min. the heat never gets hot till i get to where i am going

 

yeah, your supposed to just start it, and then take off, and stay under 3000 RPM until warm, and it'l warm up in like 30 seconds. it prolly saves some gas also, and I'm not sure 100% about it either

 

I am not sure about the warmup thing either. Any specific reasons?

I know people who let their cars warmup for a while, I know people who let it sit for maybe 10-20 seconds. Personally I don't think it really makes a big difference but I could be wrong.
