Does oil freeze?



Answer:
Yes, in fact, in places close to the arctic circle, like Barrow, Alaska, in the dead of winter the automobiles have to be run 24 hours a day to keep the engine oil from freezing solid in the engine blocks.
Yes, everything can freeze.

And yes, helium freezes at higher pressures

Everything except liquid helium freezes to a solid at ambient pressure. Well-compounded oil will thicken and freeze to a glass at very low temps (e.g., Mobil 1). Crappy oil contains paraffins thet crystallize out on a cold day. Bad idea.
yes, everything freezes. I think most oils will freeze at or before -40C (same as -40F, freaky temp is the same for C and F)
yes it will freeze

gasoline actually freezes at -150 F

and because of the heavier molocules that have not seperated out in oil, it actually freezes around -200 F
Of course, oils have a freezing point too
Just about every fluid can be frozen.

Oils, other than by viscosity, are also graded by their 'Pour Point' which is the temperature at which they stop flowing.
This then, will be the freezing point.
grrrrrrrrrrrrrr u stole my question faith
and yes some oil freeze and some
suprisingly dont
