Hi everyone, I have just relocated to Minnesota and its very cold here. Starting the car in the morning or after car has been sitting for a while is hard. Battery is in good shape when I checked a month ago. I also just had oil change done here which is good to -40degrees?. I normally do my own oil change but don;t have a home yet. But what is worrying me is that after letting car warm up(10-15mins) and while driving with the heat on I see and smell smoke coming from the vents usually within the first 20-30mins of driving. I have looked under the hood on 2 occasions to see if I can spot what might be smoking or burning but to no avail.
I'm now thinking about getting engine block heater/ oil pan heater. My question is which one would work best for the celica? Just something plug and play for now. Anyone with experience with engine heaters?
By the way, I have the 3s motor.
Thanks
