My 96 maxima gives me sometimes a hard start. Now that its cold its been doing this. Im in New York. WHen i start it it takes like 8 secs to turn over. Im wondering if its ground connections or my engine oil inside. Im using Penzoil High mileage 10W-40 right now. So im thinking bc its cold it may be hard to start or if i have bad ground connections

 

Search around, there are literally thousands of threads about hard starts.
