Yes, just under 10 degrees per hour, I guess it meets expectations for such a small heater.
I left it on for another half a hour, the temperature increase seems to be linear,

after 60 minutes
VCDS oil temperature: 16C

I was in a rush to go, I forgot to check battery voltage and current at the 60 minute mark.

Perhaps with a battery that can hold voltage over 12V and deliver 10A so you get the rated 125W it may be able to heat the oil by 10C per hour.
If I decide to throw more money away I could get another one of these to half the time.
