From my experience with Michigan winters, the best way to insure diesel cold start is synthetic engine oil. With that, if the engine has good compression, starter, and battery it should start at -35. If the car has a lot of miles and is tired the cold might be some issue. If needed, plug in a block heater and trickle charger on the batt. for 1/2 hour before morning starts.
