Commonly, it is suggested that oil immersion heaters be plugged in while the unit is still warm, as the heater will then keep the oil thin and thermally circulating.

If you plug an oil immersion heater in when the oil is bitter cold and thick, the oil next to the heater may coke up before the heat spreads to the mass of cold, thick, oil. Many dipstick heaters are of so little wattage, likely this wouldn't be a problem with those.
