If you left a 400 watt inline oil heater plugged in overnight, how hot would the oil get? There is no thermostat. Can these oil heaters take running for excessive amounts of time. My dart is in the trailer with antifreeze but temps are plummeting tonight. I have a space heater in there but thought about plugging in my inline heater instead. . I would imagine you would have a nice cozy Fire by the morning.. my oil tank gets scary hot after an hour.. that's 8 quarts

I'm not sure if these heaters can work for extended periods of time.

remove the oil and heat it externally
Heated on a big stove before being added to the crankcase: aero engines in 1914.
Leaving heavy oil in the car is harmless... until/unless you need to start it. Thick oil not only kills cranking speed, but when it starts it takes 3 weeks for the oil to reach that last bearing.
