Slower to start after oil change

I just changed my oil, filter and fuel filters. I have noticed that it takes alittle longer to crank when its cold. It runs fine and starts fine after it warms up. I used rotella 15W-40. It has the ford oil cap on it. No fuel leaks or anything... But it does seem to take alittle longer to start maybe 4 seconds of cranking or so... It was about 2 seconds.... Just curious any ideas?

Did you use the MC FL-2016 Oil Filter ? From what I have Been told,,,this is the ONLY Filter that should be used on a 6.0 !!

Other filters are Inferior to MotorCraft, different dimensions etc,,can cause issues with the 6.0 !!!

Navistar: 1840752C91
Fram: CH9549

All four of those part numbers are the exact same filter made by the same company (Racor) and only the packaging is different. Well, and the price is the other difference.
