2G No Start sub zero conditions

[MasterMatt209]

This may be a stupid question but I’m kinda curious. I’m running 10w30 in my Talon and were getting record setting temps here in Indiana and it will be down to -11 but with the windchill might hit -50. Do I need to take any precautions with starting the car? Maybe avoiding starting it, or am I overthinking?

i would let it sit and not mess with it, could cause more strain on the battery itself. i would try it late tonight or tomorrow morning. once its up to temp if its still not starting then you can start diagnosing it.

Update just had the starter tested and it was bad!

Installed the starter now the car does nothing when I turn the key

Install error with the starter. Or they gave you a bum one.

Temperature will not affect the car starting IF your starting components are healthy. I daily my dsm. It's been a steady 0 to 50 degrees lately

Almost always an underlying problem. Should not have to heat the fluids to start the car.
