I think the engine oil in my car is frozen. I try to boost it with another car and it 's still not working.

Anyone can give me some suggestions?

我觉得block heater是管打火的，跟机油没关系。

there are a few kinds of BH that help cars start from extreme cold weather,
3 M, R+ h# N' }  gbasically ,  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.

& Z  m2 j2 Q6 L0 nIf 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。
