Colder temps = thicker oil. Thicker oil = harder to flow through hose and fitting orifices.

Unless you can change the Molecular structure of oil i doubt it.

 Re: triming slow cold weather????
I agree  , something else is wrong. Ive broke ice trimming mine and its never run slow. Check fluid level, low batt, ect....

A low battery would slow it down

 Re: triming slow cold weather????
Weather Istn really cold here, but in the winter time my trim slows down with a perfectly charged battery. At day light its slow when the temps warm up and the motor has been run for a few minutes it speeds up. Other than that check Voltage, maybe grease the slide plate a little make things easier.
