My house is cold because I have not finished the dry wall and I have not insulated most of the house yet. My old machine works great, my daughter's new middle of the road thread injector works fine in a cold environment. Not sure what the temp is, I know it is above freezing, but a warm coat is needed along with boots. I normally keep my house between 62 and 65F. Until summer or my daughter and I finish the rebuild the house is going to continue being cold.
I think the new higher end computerized thread injectors might need a bit of babying.
Call the MFG. and ask them your question.
I would not worry about the oil, maybe the grease being thick could possibly be a problem. Again ask the MFG.
