The water separating part isn't really the issue... well it is because yeah, I'd need to find good water free oil and also rig up an onboard prefilter/water sep system. The problem is that this is a warm place and there's no such thing as heated houses, let alone fuel filters. It's the coolant heated filter I need to do away with really...

As in... why exactly does the filter need to be heated? Is it just so the fuel doesn't get cold while in the filter? Because if so then I can do away with it for new oil right?
