Since this has been revived, why not use a 12V block heater and/or 12V oil pan heater to heat up the fluids? They could be used manually or controlled automatically to come on with the car and turn off at a certain coolant temp (or from the tstat).

How would coolant water (and glycol) degrade? It doesn't break down like motor oil. I'm mean if you overheat it, it would eventually vaporize, but 98'C water is always going to be the same water.
