Answers to the following questions might help in tailoring answers to your specific situation.
Automatic or Manual transmission? And how many forward speeds?
Does it have a block heater?
Where and how is it being driven? eg.
  1. 60% city in 4-15 km one-way trips?
  2. 90% highway 10-50 km one-way trips?
  3. 80% highway 100 km loop with 12 stops?
  4. 8,000 km per year?
  5. ????????
