I have done some oil changes when it was cold outside, back in the days of the 3000 mile OCI thing.
There was 1 day where it was late November back in 1997 where the weather here was about like 55 degrees and I was at like 2950 miles. It was a sunny day, but no, I had to do the 3000 mile thing. Well when it hit 3000 miles, it was a day where the temps were in the mid 20's with some Light Snow coming down. Luckily a mile up the road there was an old Texaco Gas Station with a 2 bay garage where the Mechanic that I knew let me use his lift in a warm garage for $15.00 2 change my oil.
The lift he had was the old type where the big cylinder in the center lifted up, I think this Gas Station was built back in 1959! What is ironic, is even though I wished I had changed the oil when it was warmer out, it was worth the $15.00 2 stand underneath the car changing the oil versus laying on the ground at my place.
Now I just change my oil when it is warm outside. LOL
