    At those temperatures, the battery may have frozen. You may want to have it tested and/or replaced. Also, start using 5W-30 full-synthetic engine oil--it will definitely help your car start better in cold weather:

    Look into Mobil 1, Pennzoil Platinum, Quaker State Synthetic, or Amsoil--you'll be glad you did.

    Hey Anns427,
    Funny story is I had the same problem! Have you thought about your battery? I tried everything and it ended up being the battery.
