There was a real cold snap before I could get the 20W-50 drained out, the engine was still fairly new and tight, and the temp dropped to -12 F. Wouldn't even bump over. Called the tow truck and the driver couldn't get it to start, even with the 24V system. So, he gave me a push. At 35 mph, the rear wheels just skidded on the snow and ice. At 50 mph, with some nursing of the clutch, I finally got it started. Interesting experience. Cheers. -- Michael D.
