Not necessarily..the viscosity of hydraulic oil becomes heavier as it gets colder. The pump has to work harder to force the oil through the lines. In our neck of the woods whenever they park a dump truck for the night they park it with the box raised. The weight of the box will force the fluid through the lines as it comes down and helps to loosen everything up.
