my 8 wont start up

ok guys im here again with another probles..about a month ago a took my 05-AT 8 to the dealer and got a full tune-up ( coils, plugs, wire and oil changed)..now after i got the car from the dealer i drove it to my job. here is where i notice the problem accure. after i drove it to my job i let it sit about 10 mins and try to start it up, it took a while to turn over ( few cranks) i call the dealer back that same day they told me to let it **** and run for 20-25 mins. i did that now a few day ago i start it up it started fine, i went to put some gas in it after i finish i proceed to start the car up and the turn over problem accure againg...now i was wondering if it has anything to do with the gas filter? i was told there is two filter in the car. any help and advice will help.

A good place to start would be the battery. Clean all the connections and have the battery load tested. If that checks out, a compression test would be in order.

The compression has to be done with a Rotary Compression tester. It gives the compression of three sides of the two rotors and the RPM's it was tested at.
