I just realized an inductive heater would solve the oil pan problem very nicely. Sure enough, there is a commercial product:

carparts.com/OUR-BEST-UL-APPROVED-MAGNET-MOUNT-ENGINE-BLOCK-HEATER/GP_2000836_N__10618.car?zmam=73771597&zmas=17&zmac =99&zmap=10618-2000836

Have any of you' all used these before?
