I would like to take a look how you start your car with ANY oil, including Redline, Amsoil, etc without block heater when the ambient temperature is -34, not -39. Oil viscosity does not matter: gas will not evaporate, so engine will not start. But if you have a block heater, you can use 10WXX easily.
Canadians, especially those out west, do it with some regularity. I've started mine in -38C (-36F) and the noises it made were amazing, but it started.
