-30 Weather, will it handle it?
#11
So I'm heading up in Northern Alberta soon to the oil patch, somewhere North of Edmonton. I have to take the F150 up there, and Im already scared as hell of driving it +1000kms, but now Im stressing if it can even handle the temps that area gets in winter (-20C to -30C is regular). Its an older truck so I'm already scared of using synthetic oil, as it could make a small leak worse from what I've heard. Ive got brand new winter tires, but every thing else is in the air at the moment. There is no block heater installed on the 302, is that worth getting put on? I just need it for a few months until I upgrade to a newer version, what would you guys to to insure it makes it that far?
Yes you need a block heater!
I have lived in Alberta all my life and drive a 91 f250, 5.8 4x4 everyday. It's my welding truck and goes all over the province!
