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.

What type of oil is used in a oil filled electric heater specifically a portable Delonghi space heater?

They don't say specifically, but my guess is that they use a mineral oil is because it is cheap and non-toxic. There are also many synthetic diathermic heat transfer fluids that have better performance, but these are more expensive. Glycols are also used in some moderate temperature applications such as radiant heating systems in floors and walls, but I doubt they are used in something as hot as a space heater (the total power dissipated by a space heater may be less than a house radiant heating system, but the peak temperature of a space heater's internal electric heating wire is higher).

Are oil space heaters better than electric heaters?

An oil filled electric space heater produces a more "even" heating without the hotspots that standard electric space heaters can produce. Also it is not possible for something poked into the oil filled electric space heater to touch the electrical heating element wires as is possible in standard electric space heaters (which would shock you).

Where to place block heater on 2013 Chevy captiva?

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.
