I've been running GC 0W-30 in my 2001 4 cyl. Accord for the past 20k miles. Consumption has decreased significantly over the other oils I have used, engine has run a little quiter, and has overall pleased me up to this point...
The car has about 50k miles on it, and it has never experienced hard starting problems as this winter. We dipped below -20C these past few days, and the car just absolutelly hates starting! It cranks like it's on its last breath, and the oil has been replaced by mollases.
Now I'm not trying to put blame on the oil just yet, as others have had great results with GC in cold weather. What else could be causing this? Maybe the battery is weak? It also takes 2-3 seconds for it to start, compared to almost instantly with other oils in the past winters.
Sorry for making this so long. I'm looking for suggestions where the problem could lay.
Regards,
Paul
