longer turn over on start w/ cold weather
is this normal? i believe this started when temperatures were around 30 F and below
also i accidentally drained my tank once back in december w/c im not sure if that had any adverse effects causing issue. |

oil is thicker in colder weather and battery doesnt have as many cranking amps in cold weather below freezing

mine too.
thanks guys. i heard of this with other cars generally but i thought we were immune. does synthetic oil help and higher end battery? i did use a red optima battery in my previous car and i never had this issue. had my 1st oil change already also but i see there's no bearing in this topic. |

whats the cca on the stock batt? bet a decent battery would solve the struggling to start issue, mine does that all the time.

Today, its been really really cold where I live like below 0 without windchill...anyway my car was outside overnight and I decided to bring it in the garage, man did it have a long turn over. Then when it was on the engine sounded like a diesel truck! It was awesome! I know its because its been sitting there and its really cold so its going to run/idle rough at first until it warms up. According to my scanguage the coolent temp was below 0! Although it warmed up fairly fast. I hate the cold and winter...That's my warm up story
