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.
