I run one constantly. I've not plugged a filter over several hundred gallons of WVO burned. When the heat is conducted off the tip of the plug, you will not overheat the oil. Just maintain some oil flow past the glow plug.

My heater is manually switched, and I've left it on while idling in stop and go traffic, and aside from getting the oil temperature over 200F, there were no consequences.
