Hmmm that's actually a good idea, especially if you have an aluminum oil pan (aftermarket baffled pans for example). I got to drive a Porsche 981 Cayman, and I had never seen a real water temp and oil temp gauge before; I noticed that the coolant temp went up very fast, but the oil took forever. I feel like you would get better results if you preheated both coolant and oil a little bit rather than just having the coolant heated significantly, but barring that maybe just heating the oil isn't so bad given how fast coolant tends to come up to temperature.
