The video is shared by @drivewithkruzee – who regularly posts similar clips to his 17,000 followers – and has more than one hundred likes.
His top tip is to find a blanket and put it on the engine beneath the hood of the car the night before you drive – to keep it warm overnight.
He advised that for maximum benefit an electric blanket is ideal, but a regular one will also do the trick.
Other hints @drivewithkruzee has given include how to fill up your gas tank, how to do a three point turn and what to do if your car skids in snowy conditions.
And he is not the only car whizz to be making waves on the internet, as there are many keen to share tips and tricks.
A life hack guru @mama_mila_ recently shared how motorists can make their car smell great without breaking the bank.
Influencer Mila tells her followers that the citrus oil not only helps to “clean leather” but also “makes your car smell amazing”.
In another helpful video – posted by @dongchexiaoshimei – a driver reveals how drivers and passengers can open windows quickly in an emergency.
