In another thread (about cold starting) it was mentioned that Alaskan
bush
pilots routinely drain their oil, take it inside, and heat it on the
stove
before starting in the morning.

Getting back to the subject, one might surmise that by
far the worst temperature shock happens to the engine
when the key is turned on.

One should avoid this action.

So if my plane does not have a key the engine will last forever?
