Engine oil doesn’t exactly freeze solid like water at 0°C. Instead, it significantly thickens as the temperature drops, potentially behaving more like a gel at extremely low temperatures that range typically between -40°C to -50°C for conventional oils. This thickening can impede the flow of oil, making it harder for your engine to start or properly lubricate moving parts at startup. Synthetic oils, engineered for better performance in extreme temperatures, have a wider temperature range and can remain more fluid at much lower temperatures, often down to -60°C. It’s crucial for vehicle owners to choose an oil grade and type suited to their environment’s climate. For colder regions, thinner, synthetic oils are recommended for their superior low-temperature fluidity, ensuring better protection and ease of starting in cold conditions.
