2009 GE8 Block Heater
Hey guys, winter is here with crazy snow weather
My car is parked out and I am wondering at around what temperature should I start plugging my block heater?
Any suggestions?
thanks for the help!

I just plug it in when it seems to start struggling to start a tiny bit. Usually once it's below -10. Have one at work, don't at home - never had issues starting last winter. Just frozen seats
I don't think there is a set temperature, just works the battery a bit more and at the margin with cold cranking a little more wear on the engine.
