Cold weather issues?

[Kracka]

I've already read one thread about the doors freezing shut so I figured I'd make a thread regarding cold weather issues.

I'm happy to report I've had none! The mini-battery has been able to fire the Evo up easily even with the FP4R cams and FIC 850cc injectors. After a few seconds of warming up it idles smoothly and drivability is fine. Also, the Redline tranny cocktail is shifting very smoothly in these below-zero temps.

My door locks were screwed up this morning could not get the car unlocked, at first thought it was frozen shut, but when I came home they worked just fine..I had to get a ride to work and was 5 mins late.

I can't open my mail box. Our mail boxes are small metal boxes outside that you have to open with a key. I was able to finally get the key in, but could not turn it. Guess I'll have to wait for a warmer day...

I have none so far and everything running great! A lot of door problems hope no one else has them.

I'm finally able to park my car in a garage this winter and I love it! It's not heated, but it doesn't seem to get below freezing in there. Most of the snow melts off the car overnight, then doesn't freeze on the floor. No frozen doors or locks for me. The car did turn over a little slowly when I was leaving work, but that's probably cuz I still have Shell 10w30 in it. I'll probably have to change the oil sometime soon.

I've been thinking about switching to 5W-30 for the winter instead of my usual 10W-30, but after today I'm thinking its not needed.

This Shell Rotellla oil I'm using seems to be thicker than other types of 10w30 I've used. I get way better oil pressure with this than any other 10w30 I've used.

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.
