Cold start wasn't as loud as before? Canadian Winter.

Hello all,

Just posting this as I am very curious.

I have stored my vehicle in the garage where at nights where for about sometime now has been 0-5 Degrees C and now its starting to just hit below zero.

A few nights ago I had to move my garage from the garage to grab a few things in the garage attic, but when I started my vehicle, it wasn't as loud as it used to be...it kinda sounded like the car was somewhat warm already.

Any idea why? I'm just curious.

Thanks!

Hey, I'd say maybe 2-3C. I know for sure it wasn't below 0.

When you say loud you mean like ticking loud ? Like lifter noise ? Or piston slap ? How do you describe this noise. I live in Waterloo my car is stored for the winter when i start it it doesn't sound any different really than summer.

I also run 0W-40. That could make your starts quiter if its lifter noise.
