(OP)
Is there any other common ways of heating engine or hydraulic oil than by an immersion heater (either inline or in tank)?

Perhaps a little more information would help with suggestions. How much heat do you need? What is the flow going into the tank?

deltaT = Q/(M*cp)
Where:
deltaT = temperature increase (°C)
Q = heat =5kW = 4300 kcal/h = 71.7 kcal/min
M = mass flow rate = 2 gpm * 0.0038 m^3/(gpm min)* 880 kg/m^3=6.688 kg/min
cp = specific heat = 0.48 kcal/(kg °C)
deltaT = 22.33 °C = 72.2 °F
RE: heating oil
your wrong because one degree C = 1.8 degree F. that means if you have a deltaT of 22.33C then you have a deltaT of 40.194F.
But a temperature of 22.33C is the same as a temperature of 72.2F. But this is totally different than a deltaT because F and C are not on an absolute scale.

Unless you can come up with another heat source, an electric immersion heater in the tank is your simplest option, especially if it is only for start-up.
