when its really cold its normal for the car to take few extra cranks to start. Or your battery might need to be replaced, when was the last time you replaced your battery?

 

i think about 2 1/2 years ago. its just an oem replacment battery nothin special

 

Mine does the same thing, but I know it's not the battery. It was replaced about a year ago. I noticed it when it got cold too.

 

Check your cables to make sure they're not corroded. Remember to check your ground strap for corrosion as well. It's easy - just follow your cables down from the battery.
