I have a 1994 Volvo 850, less than 140k. It really has troubles starting in -25c weather and sometimes does not start at all when it is that cold. I got a Block heater installed last year and it seems to do the trick but I am worried about the days when I travel and can not plug the car in. I suggested to my garage (Volvo Dealership) to use 10w30 oil, but they suggested to me that Canada (Ontario) was not cold enough... what do you guys think my troubles may be???
Any input will help. thanks S.
