What is your question?
In freezing weather car starts and runs very well. However, after bringing in for oil change (and a check for an oil leak), now it doesn't start easily. It keeps trying to turn over and when I hear it almost 'catch', I pump the gas pedal, revving it and it starts. I don't understand the correlation between getting an oil change and my car developing starting problems. It is not the battery. I think it is a fuel delivery issue. Kindly provide some guidance. Thank you.

Think the issue may just be a 'coincidence' in timing......Turn key to on position and wait 5 seconds then try to start. If it starts easily again, may have a problem with the fuel pressure regulator not keeping the fuel line 'primed'.....
Thank you. I will try this. Also, today, I added STP Fuel Injector fluid to the almost full gas tank, to see if this may help. Thanks!
Cleaning the fuel system is always a good preventive maintenance idea.....
Thank you.
