Chris, thanks for taking the time.
My wife's W210 606 starts fine in sub-zero weather.

My friend has a block heater that he can plug in while parked at work, but just in case, I wanted him to know how to start the fire at 20 below.

vstech, thanks for your response too. It is interesting seeing the different factory recommended procedures. But, how cold does it really get down there?
