Others have more experience with low temps than me.
One additional idea I have heard of - batteries do poorly when they are cold. I have heard of people turning on the headlights for a minute or so and then turning them off before trying to crank. The theory was that the hefty demand would warm the battery and let it put our more amps than it would have cold.
Anybody tried this idea?

I'm thinking about driving my '85 300TD into the frigid depths of
Quebec City, Canada during mid-February. I was wondering if anyone
had any personal experience with starting a vehicle such as mine in
temperatures around -25C (-15F). I have a block heater installed and
I plan to use it but I'm not sure if that'll be enough. Any thoughts?
Would starting fluid help in addition to the block heater being
plugged in?
Thanks,
Victor
