    In the early days of aviation in Alaska, bush pilots flying to remote
    locations where they had to stay overnight drained the oil from their planes
    upon landing and took it inside with them to keep it warm. They then
    refilled the crankcase with the warm oil in the morning and immediately
    started the engine.

    When I lived in northern Michigan, I had a heater on my gas engined tractor
    that heated the coolant and circulated it (with a small electric pump)
    throughout the cooling system. Worked well even at -40F.
