I keep a few extra oil filters in my center console of my truck and it was almost -10 the other night.  I would imagine the glue and components are able to withstand temperature extremes but just curious if anyone knows.  Thx.

No they are fine!  

Owning bikes in MN and every year the whole bike experiences -10 to -20F temps.

Prob fine.  I’ve had shocks start leaking in negative temps though.
