I went out this morning to try and start my car, just to see if she'd go.

She didn't.....



It was 5F out and it tried to fire, I let off the key when I thought it was going to "take" and it didn't. After that, the battery just didn't have what it took to crank it fast enough.

Out came the big honking extension cord, two way splitter, and battery charger....

Right now, she's a chargin' and a heatin'!

But, before I changed from 15w40 Rotella T to 5w40 Rotella Synthetic, if it was under 30F, you'd better plugg'er in!
