   Yeah, I suppose. But if you're going to be concerned about that, then you
really need to put in a pre-lube system as well. I guess we lived so long in
northern MN where we had to park the vehicle 2 miles from the house and had
nothing to plug it into even if we wanted to that I just got in the habit of
making sure the car would start without any additional helps.
