I live in Minnesota, so I buy winter grade oil for cold weather use.  Manuals say you can also thin regular bar oil up to 50% with kerosene or diesel. 

You can mix up a quart or so of it if you don't need it often.  You can also drain any extra back into the jug with a funnel if you have stuff left over in your tank.

The thicker oil just will not flow when it gets too cold and thick.  Turn up your oiler, if it is adjustable, when using the thinner oil.
