Temperature: If there's even a snowball's chance of oil freezing in the lines of this thing, it would render the PCV system non-operational...which is illegal from the factory. In reality...you start the engine, and as soon as the engine bay warms up - it's working again...
Oil freezing?? Not on this planet. Oil may get extremely thick but won't freeze except for tar oil which is used in making asphalt. This I'm sure is as someone else said is for legal reasons i.e, EPA. Remember if the EPA had its way racing, track days and V8 engines would be out lawed, they don't believe in fun!
