When oil is stored at temperatures below 20°F, the waxes present in the oil can solidify or thicken, leading to increased viscosity. This change can significantly hinder the oil's ability to flow, making it more difficult to pump or transport. As a result, the performance of machinery or systems using this oil may be compromised. To mitigate this issue, additives can be used to lower the pour point of the oil or prevent wax formation.
