Preparing to do an outdoor oil change in late December?
I added Castrol GTX 5w-30 once around 1989 or 1990 when the bottle was at ambient -35 C to -40 C. Never again, no matter how fluid the oil is.
Early '82 - I stop for gas, and know I'll have to add oil, as usual, to my '68 Impala. It's in excess of -30 C that day. It was a cold winter, may have been -35 C that morning. The tired old 307 was drinking a litre of oil every 75 miles, so I keep a case of 24 cans of Quaker State 10W-30 in the trunk. So, the oil is at ambient temperature.
The oil is off the dipstick, so I add two litres. It takes several minutes to pour each can of oil. It's like molasses coming out.
A few years later I discovered the miracle of synthetic oil, and have never gone back to conventional. (Of course I've not since had a car that burned oil like that either.)
