8.5 amps, coming in at a nice 1000 watts. Yeah, you'd need a 50 foot heavy duty cord, but not having to clean the snow off the windshield might be worth it.
Also, I had Mobil 1 ATF in mine at one point. When I put it in, I noticed it was a little smoother in shifts. But It had never been changed (80k miles). Recently (140K) I did a partial flush with cheapo cheap ATF and the stuff came out looking brand new. I think simply regularly flushing it is better than using high end fluid. Although it probably can't hurt to do both, I just don't budget that much for car maint anymore.
