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,
1 n3 [8 ~3 x. {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.

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。
