Heating your oil doesn't help cold starting like heating the coolant. If you’re worried about cold thick oil on start up, use a magnetic heater on the pan or dip stick heater, and good oil.
All my stuff has block heaters which work well, but my loader tractor (Ford 6cyl diesel) stands outside most of the time, and has to start. It had the block heater disconnected, and a tank heater fitted. It is 1500 Watt heater, with directional flow. It draws coolant straight out of the block via a hose fitting that replaces the block drain, and circulates hot coolant back into the block via a tee in the heater hose. Down to -20 I only need it plugged in for about an hour or two. I usually hook a battery charger on as well.
The tank heater doesn't look as neat as a freeze plug heater, but is easy to fit and maintain, and works well. Expensive to leave on all night though.
