Depends on who is going to be starting it. If it is a diesel, of course the coolant needs a heater, but if it is going to be run by someone who thinks he has to rev it up right away, then the oil should be warm too. A couple of years ago I did a little work on a neighbor's old GMC truck with a toro-flo V6 diesel. This was in the winter with the temp probably somewhere in the teens and when one of his employees came and got it after I was done with it he floorboarded that cold engine and away he went with the frigid engine sputtering, popping and smoking for the first mile or so. When he got home with it he called me and said the engine was knocking. You guessed it, he spun a rod bearing. The oil pump just couldn't suck up that cold oil fast enough.
