I use 25wt rc shock oil for all rubber gas seals and frog lube paste for all metal on metal contact.
Never bothered to heat it and I field strip and clean my gun after every game applying new paste each time. #OCD!
I've never used it at cold temperatures but I would suspect it would harden and eventually freeze up when approaching -0c.
Nor have I noticed a sticky gunk with frog lube paste but it is a organic product so I can see how it could break down with time and if used liberally can attract dust and other debris.
My advice is stick to pure silicone oil for the seals and only use greases or paste for the slide, action, trigger and hammer.
Try the paste as I suspect the liquid might evaporate leaving a thick residue.
