Then pull the battery and take it inside. Or if you just disconnect the ground wire from the battery and leave it in the car it won't run down. That's what I do with my boat and it sits 7 months and fires right up when reconnected.

What about a solar panel if no 110 power available. Rather inexpensive option. Most half decent ones offer "float" or overcharge protection.

It also has Superior protection against ash and other deposit formation in engine hot spots particular in turbochargers and superchargers. for less oil burnoff and reduced chances of damaging oil passageway clogging I think its the best way to go..MOST LS based motors have issues with sucking oil.. All jet engine have to use syntheic oil as well,but piston engine planes do not have to as there is not as much heat in them.. Another thing about it is that syntheic oil is better at leaving a thin coating on the bearings . so during start up's which is when most engine wear happens ,It provides protect for your engine in the long run..

I try to start mine up at least once a month while stored. Sometimes leave it running for the better part of an hour. Most times.....-30C. Not plugged in. Running a Lithionics Li-Po battery in it and it starts everytime, loads of power, and registers oil pressure right away. Only real reason I do it is to relax the valve train by not leaving springs fully compressed for the whole winter season and to reposition rings inside the cylinders. Fuel is all treated prior to storage but feels good to move some through the pump and injectors also.

In a multi-viscosity oil the number before the "w" is the viscosity rating at 0*F and the end number refers to the viscosity at 210*F. A straight or single viscosity oil is rated at 210*F.

I don't start mine until spring it just sits under the cover in heated storage for the winter. Best not to start unless you are going to use it. If out in the cold remove the battery to a warm location. It is not good for the oil (synthetic or conventional) in any engine not to come up to temp so the moisture and corrosive gases are expelled from the oil/crankcase.

I agree with Scott, you will do more harm than good in the really cold periods. If you are worried about the battery and know it will be awhile before you start it again just remove the battery and bring it inside. Better on the battery and you could put a battery tender on it then if need be.
