I wish I had synthetic in my engine this winter! Cold starts at about 5 degrees F a few times at the airport were a little nerve racking (slow cranking)

Also when very cold my power steering pump would groan like an old lady until warmed up a little. Why would it do that? Maybe time for a rebuilt pump?

Anyone else have a 'Groaning Power Steering Pump' in very cold weather? It works OK otherwise.

(Currently all apart for timing chain and rail job)
