Engine Oil Temperature

"The radiator-like devices use fuel flow from each of the wing tanks to cool engine oil, and fuel then flows from there to the nearby engine during flight."

Do engine oil temperature drop when the engines are at idle for a while? Can the problem be low engine oil temperature plus low fuel temperature and excessive water/ice in the tanks?
