That block heater. I read that it puts out 250w - anyone have an estimate or actually measure how much temperature rise this would create in in the oil? If it preheated the oil to 100F on a 0F morning, then the $100 price tag could be justified, sure. But a 10 degree rise probably wouldn't be worth it.
