means I seriously wonder about sludging oil. CHANGE TO 5W30 or synthetic.
You still have not stated how cold "cold" is by you. If it is like here in Saskatoon, that could mean -40 (F or C, take yer pick).
Cheap oil will also leave accumulated deposts, screwing up the oil lines and valves, even in the summer. Buy decent oil for a turbo.
ALSO, if sludging oil is forced through a filter it will balk, and push its ways out the side.
Please let us know if this is the problem.
