How fast does heating the cabin cool off your engine Oil Pan? Obviously, our engines are slightly different in size, but it would be interesting to compare. On the Prius, you can definitely drop coolant temps in winter with the cabin heater. I'm assuming the Metro will be slightly better due to having an iron block.
