More energy is consumed to keep the vehicle warm, so it is likely that the engine is required to maintain temp and charge in colder climate. Just a guess.
Yes, I understand the hardware capabilities currently dictate a cable, due to data transfer capabilities. using a secondary device to eliminate that limitation is what I am talking about.
Thank you for pointing out the very thing I was trying to address though.
Okay, so I am trying to find out if there is a way to wirelessly connect AND use android auto for nav and everything else. I found a wireless charger that facilitates data transfer as well and have contacted the manufacturer to ask if it might be able to do so in a vehicle vs form phone to...
ILSAC GF-6 will be split into two subcategories: GF-6A and GF-6B. The principal difference between the two subcategories of oils concerns viscosity grade and high temperature, high shear (HTHS) performance.
The proposed ILSAC GF-6A specification would replace the current ILSAC GF-5...
I'm not sure about Napa Gold filters, but it's the particles small enough to get into clearances that do the most damage. The 3-10 micron size particles cause the most harm. Most people also operate under the assumption that new oil is clean oil, not really the case.
I checked a number of places, big name and local, even gave Ford credit a shot. The dealer said that those rates were the best they had seen in a long time on the extended rate (>/=72 months). I've been using them for about 4 years and have no complaints so far.

The anti-wear and extreme pressure/anti-scuff additives are stuck to the metal surfaces and providing protection during this phase of operation as well. Larger systems still benefit from pre-oilers to build pressure and film thickness before startup, but most small vehicles won't see a whole lot...
