Has anyone had experience with the "oil pan pad" type heaters? This
company offers a 1000 watt unit that is supposed to bring the oil temp
from -40 to +60 F in a couple of hours. Their reasoning is that it is
better to warm the oil, and let the heat rise, than it is to warm the
engine, and allow it to start with frozen oil. It seems to make sense to
me that warm oil is much better than frozen oil. Certainly the
installation of these heater pads is far simpler than any other method.

Do the hot water heaters actually warm the oil?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Bruce
