In cold conditions old is very thick almost like syrup, it need to warm up BEFORE it can properly lubircate the motor. 2. I drive a Si, and i enjoy getting in my warm car and being able to hit VTEC at 5:00am in the morning as i pull out my drive way. All i am saying is that you should let ur car warm up during winter.it wont happen today and it wont happen Friday, but two years three years from now lets see who's cars runs smoother, get better gas mileage, and ill put $100.00 that says if we did a compression test i would win.
