Due to ongoing projects on my other two cars, my 914 was left out in the cold for the past couple of nights. I need to run a couple of errands today and feel that if I get my Monte Carlo back together and out of the garage, I might not get it back in unless I do some "driveway cleaning". (Had to take a "running start" from across the street yesterday to get up the driveway)
Is it "safe" to start the 914 with straight 30 weight oil when temps have been below 30* for a couple of days and let it warm up? If not, then I suspose I could buy a shovel while I'm out... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Guess I'll need a flat one anyways here... Thanks!! (It's always the 30 cent stuff that screws me up and halts projects..) |
