Cold weather issues?

My bronco wouldnt start at all this morning, I almost missed a final because of it.

I used to use Rotella in my DSM's and noticed the same things. Great oil but probably a tad on the thick side for winter.
I thought Rotella was mainly for diesels

I haven't started my car in almost week now, I should probably check to see if the battery is dead before work tomorrow morning. It does have a hard time starting in this extreme cold, like a full 4 or 5 seconds of cranking. However the e70, 1600s, and no FIAV probably don't help one bit.

My only problem is I seem to have lost my car. I parked it in my lot the other day and now there is a large mound a snow where it once was. Keep an eye out for a purple dsm ;)

I had a wiper break today from being frozen to the windshield.

Its designed for heavy-duty diesel applications but is a great oil for turbocharged extreme-duty gasoline applications.

^never seen that.

Everything started ok, a bit slow, but the rolla only put out cold air after work until about 10 mins of driving then warm, I had it running for 15 min before i left work.

Redline cocktail? care to share? 2 MT 90 1 MTL?

I was talking about hill, I use rotella to up OP.

Correct! Two quarts of MT-90 and one quart of MTL. This is my recommended mix for all Mitsubishi 5-speed transmissions calling for a GL-4 gear lube. Now, for Hondas, go for straight MTL ;)

I'm running the Redline cocktail! Woot!

My tranny went from forcing it into every gear to smooth as butter..

I've got 5w20 Mobil1 in my 4g 3.8l. No starting problems at all the past two days. I run my oil for 12k miles and change filters at 3k and add as much oil as necessary. The current fill has 6k miles on it.

If I'm leaving from the house garage I idle something like 30 seconds. Parked at school tonight (-6f on the idiot box) I sat for a full minute before heading off. No weird noises from any part of the car, no weird shifting from the sportronic tranny, brakes fine, etc.
