So I live on the Canadian border in the cold area in the continental US. We get below -30F every winter and days (all day) below -20 f every year. I have a new 2022 silverado with the new 2.7 HO engine (which I love), they couldn’t put an engine block heater in her because the parts weren’t...

I built a mud motor with a backwater 6.5hp ultralight kit. I used a predator 212 engine as there was nothing else available at the time. It’s mounted on a 12’ Jon boat and works great but I worry about the longevity of the engine since it is running constantly at a 10-20 degree angle. Will the...

So I live in an area where it gets down to -40 degrees (not Celsius) in the morning, it’s been below -20 every day this week as a matter of fact. I use synthetic 0w-20 oil in all our vehicles minus the diesels and it definitely helps with cold starts but what would be the best cold weather ATF...
