2k2/2k3 cold start question...

Do you cars make a short whine/grind noise when starting in frigid weather? Just for the first 1/2 second as it starts...?

Mine does too. Almost sounds like the engine running for the first 1/2 second w/o oil in it. I am going to have to send off the next 2-3 oil samples to see what is going on.
