Brandon..If you switch to an oil such as Redline MT90, some of that may go away. Yes its cold the cold oil syndrome, but with the new synthetics and the additive packages they have now days its the "cats meow" ...

Hi Guys Not sure if anyone has experienced anything similar , but I find that when I start up my car in the morning, for the first say 10 - 20 min of driving, the second gear seems a bit "rough". What I means is that she struggles a bit to go into gear, and like almost grinds into gear, but after about 20 min of driving, its easier and just simply seems to slip in..3rd not so bad...Does this have something to do with the oil being cold...or do I have to worry about replacing my Clutch and pressure plate? Or am I due for a Lube job? Regards B C Tait
