My car doesn't start in the cold is there anything I can get to keep my fuel pressure high and flowing when the temp drops?

Do you have a check engine light on? You may have a problem with your temp sensors causing a no start condition. Also you need to check your fuel pressure and see if that is up to spec

No the check engine light isn't on, but I noticed that when my battery is warm it starts. I also use 5w30 oil. Should I use a thinner oil.

Have you had your battery load tested to see if it can take a draw when starting

Would regular gas keep it from starting? When I put premium in it isn't as bad

As long as the gas isn't to old you should be ok with any type of gas

Also I have 4 wheel drive but the car is stuck in 4hi. It's supposed to be at 2hi would that be related to it not starting?

I figured out that it was the battery losing charge overnight. What could be causing this? The battery is brand new I bought it 3 months ago
