TRIVIA SN wy "WEEKEND STAR" FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 2001 - 19 ¥ t ¢ Block heaters reduce engine wear and fuel consumption Fuel consumption soars in cold weather -- sometimes by as much as 50 percent -- and that's hard on your pocketbook and the environment. When an engine starts up, it has to pump oil throughout the block to lubricate moving parts. In a cold engine, the oil is thick and resists flow, which means the engine has to work harder to overcome internal friction. Thick oil also takes longer to circulate. A block heater can help address this problem by pre-warming the engine's oil and coolant, which in turn warms the engine block and lubricants. As a result, the engine will start easier and reach its peak operating temperature faster. Studies have shown that at -20°C, block heaters can improve overall fuel econo- my by as much as 10 percent. For a single short trip on a cold day, the fuel savings could be in the order of 20 percent. Don't offset your fuel savings by operating the block heater all night and running up your electricity bill. Two hours is all the time needed to warm the engine. For convenience, an automatic timer can be used to switch on the block heater a cou- ple of hours before you plan to drive the vehicle.
