Default Air Compressor - ambient temp?

The containers for 30 weight non-detergent compressor oil mention the
term - "all season". Does that mean that I can operate my compressor
in an unheated shed in the winter, when ambient temp is in the teens
to 30's?


If I had a stationary compressor in an unheated outbuilding,
I would be tempted to install an unloader which would allow
the compressor to start with no load.
