how much an hour to run a oil filled heater

I am assuming you mean an enclosed heater. Oil stay hot longer & does not rust.
If the heater in question is in good repair and operating normally, no. The way an oil-filled heater works is that the (electric) resistive heating element inside is immersed in oil. The oil absorbes the heat of the heating element more effectively than air would. The oil then transfers the heat to the outside of the heater, where it is exchanged into the surrounding air. It isn't like the heater is "burning" the oil. There are thermal cut-outs inside to denergize the unit if it gets too hot. Simple and easy.
If you were thinking that your oil heater needs an oil change of some sort, you were wrong. The oil is a form of mineral oil and is diathermic and is permanently sealed inside the heater. This means it never needs to be refilled.
Surprisingly, there are quite a few dangers using an oil filled heater. Oil and heat don't always mix so well because if it gets too hot, it could cause a fire. Also, if something happens where someone touches it, they will get severely burned.
I have one, but think I might junk the whole heater, since I think my heater has been recalled
There are different types of block heaters. You can place a magnetic heater on the engine block, transmission pan, or on the oil pan. A hot pad heater can also be placed on the oil pan or transmission pan. An external engine oil reservoir heater is plumed into the oil supply and pumps the oil through the heater and keeps it at a set temperature. A freeze plug type heater is installed by removing one of the freeze plugs and replacing it with this heater. It then heats the coolant, thus keeping the engine warm. Then there is the lower radiator hose heater that also keeps the coolant warm. And there is also the dipstick tube type heater that you simply install by removing the engine oil dipstick and replacing it with this type heater. There are multiple variations of all these type heaters.

At the junkyard.
An oil-filled heater such as the DeLonghi does not produce C02 - there is no combustion involved - an electric heating element inside a sealed metal housing transfers heat to encapsulated oil, which in turn heats up the entire radiator housing. The heated housing then transfers heat to the air in the room.\
They are safe to use in side just keep fabric away from it.
