My ride will NOT have an engine block heater. I hope that my research was correct, but I read various places that if one uses a fully synthetic lubricant for the engine, and has a good battery, one won't need an engine block heater. My Ford Edge will have leather seats with seat warmers.
Would you agree with my decision not to go with an engine block heater given my plan?

The power feeds off to a trickle charger , for the battery:3 A. on board one.
It's just nice when I can get heat 2 blocks from my house.(I hate leather seats!)
The temp gauge is up to as much as 1/4 when I start it in the mornings.
I'm 170 and very sensitive to cold weather.Better, if I could gain 30 pounds.
