There is no coolant down in the rod and main bearings where most of the oil leaks through and goes into the sump. The 75lb crank shaft in my engine and loe lower part with the mains webbing and main caps would have to be warmed by its own friction or heat absorbed from the oil.
I already did some calculations to heat the oil in around 20 minutes from 0°F to 100°F there is no need to leave it plugged in all night.
