True, and the engine builder pointed out that even in warmer weather there is good benefit to using the pre-heater to get the oil closer to operating temp. I'm still reading about these but one claims to add 50 - 60 degrees in 15 min. and 175 degrees in 45 minutes. If true, that would absolutely be beneficial...not the same as pre-oiling, but the next best thing and a lot easier to install.
