I know there are different wattage block heaters. What I am considering is an oil pan heater from Kennedy. They use less wattage than a block heater and are non introusive.

We preheat our oil on large turbines before admitting any steam to them. Kennedy's argument for hot oil vice hot coolant makes more sense.

I have the factory block heater, an oil pan heater and a on-board battery charger. The oil pan heater is probably the best idea for a stand alone unit as I think it more evenly heats thing up and heat rises. If you heat the oil pan everything is going up. With a block heater much of the heat is lost before the oil is warmed up. I know that when it is -30* outside and I start my truck the oil temp is 75*. Makes me happy!
