As others have said, if it is a properly sized heater your not going to cook your oil.
When it comes to leaving it plugged in when it is really cold. If it is a must start machine (feeding livestock, clearing driveway etc) the last thing you want to have happen is you wake up, the power is out and you now have no easy way of warming the engine to get it running.
More than once I have woken up to no power and minus 40, first task always was go outside and start up the plugged in feeding tractor before it cools down.
Some say plug it in for 2-3 hours before you need it, this will work if you have a big heater, say 1500 watts.
If it is a small 300 watt heater 3 hours plugged will provide about the same amount of heat that a common 1500 watt hair dryer blowing on the engine would provide in 36 minutes.
On the topic of hair dryers I have used them countless times to get engines with defective block heaters going when real cold out. A couple of hours with one blowing on the block works well.

A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
