Oh and for anyone who has the same issue there is a great DIY writeup of how to change this out. I guess its important to do a new oil change when you do this. No big deal for me as I had to soon anyways.

Haven't changed it yet.... I'll let you know by Friday if it solves the problem or not. It's getting colder and I want to get my car put away for the winter.

I have read about AMSOIL. But what type should I be using? 5w30 is what is in there right now. Is something better for startups? Hot starts take a few cranks on my car...

5w30 is not recommended. The manual clearly states 10w30. There are some guys who run 5w40 without issue. I'd recommend 10w30 Castrol Edge fully synthetic I've had a good experience with it and it's an on shelf oil unlike Amsoil. I'd prefer Amsoil but don't like the price/availability.
