RE: 07 xls 3.0L Block heater
I agree that you may not need one...but it probably does help minimize wear when the car has been sitting out overnight in -40C. Ours did sound pretty horrible the few days where it got really cold and I didn't plug it in, even with synthetic oil.

yeah exactly, its to minimize the wear on the engine for the fist minute or so while the engine gets itself moving. but you definitely don't need to plug it in overnight, thats insane unless you like massive electrical bills. Ive never plugged a vehicle in longer than 2 hours and thats even during the deep freeze winters.

i like to keep my vehicles for longer than 10 years. i dont buy disposable vehicles. i try to get the longest use out of them i possibly can. if i was into garbage vehicles, i would have bought an american car.
