well -12 today in mn porpusly left psd out in the cold with 15 -40 dino in it
unplug and it didnt start .
18 degrees was the lasttime i tryied this and it would start
well i knew it probably wouldnt now i will slap some synthetic 5-40
in it and wait until it gets -12 again and see if it will start under the same
conditions
i need to know cause the last thing i want to be is out on milaces lake when it is -15 outside with a no start
oh and i did cycle the key 4 times before trying to crank it over and i will pull it into the garage and verify gpr and glow plugs are working
well see ya all later

 

I don't know how far you are from milaces lake but I am just NE of Cambridge which isnt that far from milaces lake and i started my truck last nite at 2:30, it had sat for a good 10 hours so I know she was cold and I beleive the -12 it was COLD!!!.

anyway last nite, stone cold, she fired right up, wait to start light goes off, crank it, and she just ripped. you will LOVE the Synthetic. no doubt about it.

oil gets thick when it gets that cold. Synth is a good insurance, and the Rotell Synth is affordable. I have seen it at Wallmarts for $13/gallon.
