Define "doesn't start" ...

Car cranks OK? Then can't help; something in the fuel or ignition system. I really haven't had any starting problems in past 15 years or more with modern fuel injection, computer controlled engines.

Car cranks extremely slowly or not at all? Replace the bear grease in the engine with synthetic (Mobil 1 0W-40) would be the first attempt at a cure, esp. if you say the battery is "new". Otherwise, try a voltage check and see if voltage is at least 12V (you might have left something on overnight and it drained the battery down).

Will it start in warmer temps? Wait till it warms up and find out.

car cranks but didn't start upon boosting. Tried to put some 5w oil didn't start neither. Notice a l

ow level of coolant, but it shouldn't affect the ignition. I guess my sparks are overflooded or my gas line is frozen. Let's see if it will start upon warmer temperature.
