|That can't possibly be true.  If it was, the oil would solidify in the
|engines while the plane sat between flights, and the engines themselves would
|have to be heated somehow before they could be started.  Oil doesn't have to

Solution: After returning from a flight, drain the oil from the engine,
	  while it is still hot.
	  Before starting again, heat the oil and pour it back in.
