I put a new battery in my 1990 Ford Bronco about 6 months ago. It is the exact type of battery that had been in my Bronco for a few years. I have never had any problems with it starting in the cold. But recently out of nowhere during cold weather (20 or below) the truck has needed jumped to get started. Any ideas?

The engine a 302 out of a 1996 F-150.

Could be thick oil that's straining the battery or something is draining the battery overnite-short circuit/constant load-glove box light/trunk

So possibly just an oil change?
I have not done anything different electrically to make it drain.
