thinner oil would help a bit,

for example if you run 10w30, try 5w30, if you run 5w30 try running 0W30. other than that, a block heater might help it out.

also, if you turn your key to the on position wait till the dash lights stop flashing and chimes stop beeping (like 5-10 seconds) then crank the engine over it will help prime the engine with gas before you start it. try to have all the accessoriess off when you start up the car. (turn off your radio, wipers, heater fan wipers defrost tv/vcr dvd washer and dryer ). in cold weather its gonna be a little harder to start, but i wouldnt worry about it.

Switching to a battery with higher cold cranking amps wont help you. the engine is still going to be cold and will still require the same amount of cranks to start up.
