I dont have ant terminal grease on the battery. I think the battery is the culprit. This morning I tried to start the car and it turned really hard for about 4 seconds then all of a sudden started cranking really slow like the battery had a very limited charge. Thanks for that tip about the oil. I'm still on dino now but I had 15w-50 in there last winter. Guess I should understand my oil wwights better.
