We're typically allowed antifreeze here for the first and last events as freezing temps overnight are typical in April and sometimes October. Jerry if you put a full gallon in there and warmed the car up to circulate it you're fine. Mine sat in the trailer last winter with a gallon and it got below zero for a bit here. My garage is attached, you guys don't have heated garages?

A/C'd garage is more important here, and mine isn'tOriginally Posted by Supercharged111
I hear that, mine has neither but receives inherent heat by being attached to the house. It generally doesn't get as cold here as people think. In fact, I have yet to touch my shovel this "winter". Another thing to point out is that a small amount of antifreeze can prevent a hard freeze as well, i.e. the half gallon is likely still sufficient to prevent a freeze related explosion in above zero weather. Better to be safe than sorry though. I had a pucker moment last winter when I left town with the car in the trailer and it was 10 below out as I couldn't remember if I'd added antifreeze or not.A/C'd garage is more important here, and mine isn't

I usually only use a half gallon but was worried about the 12 to 14 degrees we are supposed to have in the morning.

I have been fine with temps in the upper teens and a heater on the block. Now 10-12 in the morning, wow. Correction 9 this morning at my house.
