Winter Time...
I'm just curious. Does everyone'* car ALWAYS start up in the dead of winter? I'm talkin like -20F... Because I mean hah, people have said to me, "wow it must suck having an old car in the winter time, they just don't start!" and I always reply, "well mine does...right away."

Our winters here in CA may dip down to 27* at 5:00AM in the morning, but that may be maybe 1 week out of the year. For you folks with -20*, I'd either be running a block heater or 5W-40 Valvoline Synpower.

She'll turn over, might take an extra crank, but she'll start. Probably the coldest my car has ever seen though is 15F, nothing in the negative digits.
