Right now we're at about -5 here in Pittsburgh and last night my car started, but took a few cranks over, then started rough. It immediately was normal after that though. I'll assume this is more wear on the battery and starter, but can there be any internal damage done by starting in cold temps, given your oil and filter and the correct viscosity and pressure?
I'm curious about this too. My car gets so cold that when I start it, I can't let off the clutch for like 30 sec or it would stall. That's only happened to me once though.
