I think the idea's there.... but wouldn't it only heat up the oil in the tank, the tank oil rarely makes it to the cylinders as the pipe and rams are already full of fluid and as you know it becomes solid matter under pressure so the oil in the tank is only picked up by the pump and used as pressure against the oil backed up in the rest of the system (unless you have a leak) or your car drops so hard that the oil is squirted back down the lines and into the tank, this would create a vacuum though and the oil would be pulled back down the lines to the cylinder again !
If you can keep the moving parts warm (cylinders, and pump heads i reckon you'd be onto something.
It would have to get pretty hot to warm the whole system up !
