can you be more specific about the starting troubles in the morning? how cold are your mornings?

try a 'search' of this forum to find fluid recomendations. you'll find more than enough opinions to last you awhile.

I'm going to assume that the starter is working properly, but that the engine is difficult to get running. Next time this happens, try this: Press and HOLD the accelerator about 1/4 way down while turning the ignition key to "Start". If the engine starts and runs, remove your foot from the accelerator pedal. If the engine stalls, or idles at a very low RPM, you may have a bad IAC (idle air control) valve. Do a site search on either IAC or idle air control for more info on this component.
