Wrong Weight Viscosity

 

Hard starting is often the result of the wrong weight viscosity of engine lubrication. Viscosity in diesel lubricants is much higher than in gasoline, and many people often get the viscosity weight wrong when replacing the oil. Other times, they’ll simply use a single-weight engine oil during hot weather and then forget to switch back to multi-viscosity oil when the weather turns cold. It’s best to simply use a multi-viscosity oil year-round to avoid forgetting to switch and risking damaging the engine.
