How long should you keep the block heater plugged in?
The answer depends on the weather,
the
kind of oil you
have, and some other things. Instead
of
trying to list
everything here,
we
ask that
you
contact a Buick dealer
in the area where you’ll be parking your vehicle. The
dealer can give you the best advice for that particular
area.
