[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1108643, member: 14713"] 20 degrees would seem like summer here considering we are not going to see 0 for a high over the weekend. :P First thing I would do is make sure all battery/starter electrical connections are clean and tight. A good booster charger might be a lot of help, especially if your batteries are getting old/weak. 20 degrees is not at all what I would consider "cold". 15W-40 oil is probably OK. I would not be running straight 30 in winter if your temps get close to 0 very often. My preferred winter oils are either 10W-30 dino or 5W-40 synthetic. Make sure to check simple things first before you take expensive and possibly unnecessary measures like buying new batteries. Do you listen/feel to see if the engine heater is actually working? Starter might be OK for warmer weather but could be in need of a little TLC for winter use. :2cents: [/QUOTE]
