Ewing, Seattle | | I purchased several sizes/wattages of these hoping to find the right sizes for my snowblower and ATV engines. The trick is to find flat open spots on or near the bottom of the oil reservoir, clean it well, and stick the appropriate size of heater there. The instructions say DO NOT use gasoline or acetone to clean the spot, and you must believe it. The first one I put on I used acetone (I know - but it's all I had) to clean the spot, and the adhesive does not stick well. On the others I used mineral spirits, and they stick like glue. They stink a bit when heated, but that is going away with use. I also used a 50 watt one to keep a bird bath de-iced, and it worked perfectly down to 5 deg F. No thermostat, so a good idea is to just plug them in a few hours before you use the equipment, or put them on a timer. But, they don't seem to overheat if you put the appropriate wattage on the appropriate size of reservoir - and that's a guessing game. Five stars because they are inexpensive and do exactly what they are meant to do. |
good product | | Review Date: November 19, 2008 | | Reviewer: Djfargo, Moorhead, Mn USA | | Warm oil makes my car very happy in winter. Compare a quart of oil sitting on your counter and a quart of oil sitting on your front steps and you can see and feel the difference. The prep work was easy and I have had no problems with it peeling up at any edges. Good product better for your car than a block heater IMHO. |
Great Product for Starting Tractor in Cold Weather | | Review Date: April 4, 2009 | | Reviewer: JustinfromMN, MN, USA | | This is a great product. I was having trouble getting my tractor to start in the cold MN winter. I bought this heater and stuck it to the bottom of the oil pan. I also bought the Katz battery warmer and wrapped the battery. From the day I installed them my tractor started like it was 80 degrees in the middle of summer. We had an extremly cold winter this year and my tractor started with no trouble everytime. |
Kats 24150 150 watt 4"X 5" universal hot pad heater | | Review Date: February 8, 2009 | | Reviewer: J. Risch, Watertown SD USA | | Fine product! I would purchase again. Easy installation, but follow the instructions completely! There is an error in the product description. It says it comes with a 3 prong grounded cord, this is not so. I comes with a 2 wire non- grounded cord. |
Excellent heater!!! | | Review Date: June 8, 2009 | | Reviewer: P. Mozarowski, | I bought a new oil pan because the old one was very rusted, and I wanted to make sure the heater would stick. I cleaned off the surface meticulously with acetone, then stuck on the heater. I prepared some "steel" 5 minute high temperature epoxy and used a knife to spread some around the edge of the heater, to discourage it from peeling off (I do not know if this is required, but I just didn't want to take chances)
My oil pan holds 4 quarts of oil, and in just 3 hours of heating on a timer the oil is nice and warm - the pan feels warm to the touch, and when I take the dipstick out, the end of the stick is warm too. By doing this you will NEVER have a cold start first thing in the morning, so your engine wear will be greatly reduced, plus the oil will last longer because a warm engine is much easier on the oil than a cold engine. |
