Default Re: Cold start taking too long - no codes

If you have 0w-40 in the motor, you shouldn't have any issues. If you have 5w-40 in the motor, which btw is fine for our engine, it might crank a bit longer on very cold starts.
I actually just changed the oil last week and I'm using 0w-40.

Yes it is cranking a few more times than usual, I noticed it for the first time yesterday. Yesterday it took slightly longer to start but today it took significantly longer which has me worried.
