Gotta let mine run at least 10min & let that heat be blowing & the heated leather seat turned on.

Never seen a single digit/// & you have a negative......now i see why Nissan ran a coolant line (hot-water) through the throttle bodies....to prevent throttle blades from icing up..(bypassed mine quite some time ago)
We rarely get down to the teens & i have 2 big chevy truck's that i would normally drive...but if everything is clear-LookOut!!!
