Instead of using an engine block heater that is supposed to heat water why not get a dedicated oil heater. I think they usually have a bigger surface area cast onto the heating element. That way the heat spreads out more. 400W doesn't sound like much to me. I use a 1,600W heater for the water on my Golf. I'm considering a 2,000W heater for the astro.
