Just a correction, I wasn't the one who posted about the Accusump.

Anyone use/used oil heaters as a reasonable option for reduction in wear? Most seem to need to be mounted to the bottom of the pan, a chancy location in these ground-scrapers. It does seem like 100W or so of heat applied for an hour before starting would help in many ways.
