Good rule of thumb. If you keep the oil in your trunk and it is not a little cloudy at the top, then it is FINE. Oil's will gel at different temps. I have a long running experiment in my fridge. Straight WVO to various mixes (antigel and so on). At 35 degrees, best is 10% kerosene with no other additives. Not at all cloudy. Viscous as cheap syrup and tough on the pump, but good on the filter.
