我觉得block heater是管打火的，跟机油没关系。

热车几分钟后就ok了

there are a few kinds of BH that help cars start from extreme cold weather,
2 K; q  G+ Y* `basically ,  BH keep the car warm by heating up the oil pan-which keeps the engine oil from frozen, or by heating up the coolant, and keep the engine block warm.
% ^# u3 R5 P7 O4 AEither way, the engine shall not be frozen with use of BH.

6 F: e0 B3 n& q7 bIf you do not have BH on ur car, by using synthetic oil you can also prevent oil frozen from happening.
A good synthetic oil, 5w20 or 5w 30 , or 3w 20 has a pure point of -30 to -40 degrees.

Tow your car to somewhere warm and try to start after a while in warm place, or wait till the weather becomes warmer.

do you think using a hair dryer may help to warm up a car a little bit?

插电加热3小时，一般可以打着车。如果不行，可能电池电量不行了，应该用别的车BOOST。
