On my Hydro tractors that I used in winter, I always changed the oil in the fall (and the spring) using Hytran oil. With good fuel, motor, battery ,and a block heater, my girls always started sleeping in an unheated shed. After starting the motor, I would put the range lever in neutral and the speed control full forward with the motor at 1200 RPM to warm up. This would not warm the oil in the power steering or the loader. After warming for 10 to 15 minutes, a couple of cycles of the steering and loader would mix the oil enough to go .In 5 minutes, all was warm and working well. The oil must circulate to warm, and having the Hydro in neutral does not circulate it. In extreme cases you could install a winter oil. Never needed it here, would be something else to look after and inventory.........QR..
