AUTO MAINTENANCE Should I have some type of plug-in heater installed in my vehicle for the cold weather? Is there different ways of warming my engine? A There are two basic types of vehicle engine heaters that can be plugged into an electrical outlet. The first, most common way to keep your vehicle engine warm is a frost plug heater. This device is installed on one side of the engine block which warms the engine coolant (anti- freeze). An electrical cord is routed to the front of your vehicle. This type may already be installed on your vehicle from the manufacturer. The second type warms the engine oil. This device is attached to the side of your engine's oil pan and can also be plugged into an electrical outlet. These engine heaters can help your vehicle start easier after being parked overnight in extreme cold temperatures. At TUFFY Auto Service Centers, our ASE certified technicians will inspect your vehicle to determine the best type of engine heater for your needs. This will assure trouble free cold weather start-ups all season long. At TUFFY Auto Service Centers, our ASE certified technicians will perform a FREE safety inspection to get your vehicle ready for safe winter driving. Please call or stop in for an appointment today.
