I know the phenomenon, check the battery. My GF's integra checks out 100% at 160k, has a brand new battery (less than 1yr old, above the OE rating), and this morning at 12F or so, it was slow to crank.
Maybe her starter is getting weak and doenst like the cold, or draws more power due to inefficiencies, and coupled with a cold battery makes the slow crank.
Her car has GC in it as well.
So I think the situations may be the same. Do you have a block heater or battery heater? Some people bring their batteries inside during the cold spells. But I think 0F should still be OK sitting outside.
at 0F even a 0w- oil is starting to get thicker.
