Default Cold weather starting

I have a 129 with the Kohler 12HP...before it got cold I changed the oil and used Shell Rotella straight 30 weight oil....it starts in this cold weather, but starts slugishly to turn...like a low battery ( battery is fully charged....load tested and good..I tried a different battery also and same thing) ...then catches after a few attempts and gets running....I am wondering if the if using straight rather than multi visc oil (5-30?) is causing it...any thoughts?...thanks in advance...Mark
