Don't forget though, an internal radiator EOC won't begin to warm the oil until the coolant thermostat opens up. I have a Dewitts with an EOC. In cool weather, I plug up an oil warmer, set on a timer to come on a few hours before morning. The warmer is an external pad adhered to the bottom of my oil pan. It raises oil temp about 30-40 degrees above ambient temperature.


We use those external warmers on the drysump tanks. Some of them are fairly fast, like 20 minutes to hit 140.

Good point on the Dewitts with the EOC. With an external plumbed cooler, the warm up won't be affected much if you're at a stand still. And if you're driving in cool weather, the warm up's only going to be a couple of miles further.
I usually warm up the C4 to 100 degrees before I drive it and never hammer it until the oil's hot.
