But it cranked slow with 5W 40. A little over a year ago, I switched to Mobil One sythethic. It starts better now outside at 10 below then it did before when I garaged it and would start it at 15 to 20 above. I do use the glow plug routine twice on real cold mornings, two cycles of 30 to 40 seconds each, and it fires off just really nice.
