Don't worry about it, it's somewhat normal under colder condition. And aren't they also siting on concrete? The cold would transfer even more to your cubies that way so you could always put them on a wood board.

They'll come back to life once the weather warms up. If you need oil asap just use the top part and keep the bottom part for summer. The bottom could also be a mix of water and residual so if it doesn't come back to life you'll want to use the top part for your truck, take all the bottom parts and make new full cubies out of them. After some time the nice remaining oil will move to the top and so on...

Hey,

Thats fortunate! Last year that happened to me and I used the top for making winter biodiesel. It works very well as its somewhat already cold treated. The heavier fats have fallen out. I mixed the heavier stuff into my regular oil in the spring when its warm again.

I'd say, go ahead and use the top stuff!
