    Lowest temp you ever started an engine.

    Got down to nearly zero here in memphis last week. A record ! My '09 Malibu with 2.5 L engine fired right up with Quaker State 5w30 dino in the crankcase. Used remote start so was nice and toasty when my wife climbed in to go to work.

    Have different oil brands always been the same?
