In extreme Arctic conditions below -40°C, regular motor oil becomes so thick it can't flow properly, making engines impossible to start. Arctic vehicles use special synthetic oils that remain fluid even at -55°C, allowing snowmobiles and research vehicles to operate near the North Pole. Some Arctic bases keep vehicles running 24/7 during winter because restarting a cold engine could be impossible. The military developed these ultra-low-temperature oils during Cold War operations in northern regions.
