I own and operate a tree service in MI, needless to say the winter months are hard on our equipment. I had searched for quit some time before I found this product, it was a very easy installation and makes a world of difference, I would highly recommend this to anyone who works in the cold weather. Thank you Kats !!!

It is great, would love to have one in 24 volt !!!!

by: Chuck 03/20/2023

Was disappointed. Their product description along with the installation instructions both refer to "self adhesive" but there is none. Called manufacture and they suggested High temp silicone RTV. Do to the location of installation this was difficult to do the clamping. Added 4 days for 2 people to the process to install.

by: Robert 10/16/2025

Will be installing it tomorrow. I'm sure it will be fine.

It should be, Robert. This isn't a super complicated install or anything like that. Stick it on and you are good to go! Where are you located? Always curious about that when people buy these kinds of things.

@Lazer. So yeah I'm temporarily located in Exeter ca. But needed the block heater & pan heater cuz I'm buying a house up in Bridgeport ca. @ 7000ft. Elevation. Gotta keep my parts warm.

@Robert Haha! Definitely need to keep your parts warm! : ) I'm actually from California originally (specifically Lake Elsinore and then San Diego) and we used to take a yearly summer trip up to Mammoth for mountain biking. I think we went up to Bridgeport a few times after checking out Mono Lake. If it's where I'm thinking, it was very pretty! I sometimes forget how much I miss the mountains being out here in Missouri now. Just about as flat as you can get. Everything is quite a bit less expensive out here though, so there's that I guess.

Easy installation and heats up quickly.

by: Rob 01/28/2018

Installation was a snap as my generator was still hot from running. Peeled off the liner to expose the adhesive and stuck it squarely and securely on the underside of the oil pan. My review is only 4 stars because I haven't yet put the product to the test, but when that happens I will revisit and revise my review. Otherwise the heater arrived quickly and was as described.

The blockoil pan heater is used sporadically to heat the oil in our house generator when necessary. We are satisfied with the function of both products thus far. Thanks for reaching out.

Great Product! Volkswagen Jetta TDI makes no electrical heaters. There is NO frost plug on the engine either! Installed the KAT and life is good! Starts every time.

The pan heater is going strong. The 2003 VW TDI does not offer any solutions to warming up the engine so I chose to do the pan heater over cutting into the cooling system. I would do it again!

I put this heater on my RV water heater to prevent it from freezing. So far it works well.

This item works great. I dont have to drain my RV water heater in the winter. Just apply it to the tank and it prevents freezing.

by: Roderick 01/18/2018 One Year Later

I bought this pad heater for my air compressor that lives in the unheated side of my shop. I ruined two electric motors due to the oil in the compressor turning to molasses during the winter where it gets well below zero. So far so good. :)
The adhesive is solid, not peeling and the pad keeps my compressor nice and toasty. Before when I was away traveling I would forget to open the breaker for the compressor and come home to a ruined motor. That problem is history.
I highly recomend this heater, very small but very effective for oil pans of all types needing to be kept warm in freezing condition.

by: Christopher 01/03/2019

So far so good. Bought 3 for our diesels. Be sure to clean the oil pan for any dust, grime or grease. We even lightly sanded the oil pan to ensure good adhesion then used high temp RTV silicone around the edges.

Absolutely zero problems. Continues to work great!!

by: JACK N. 01/14/2021 One Year Later

Used it to keep oil warm on my GENERAC generator for easier starting during winter months but the electrical connections on the heater were so poor that they were arcing and sparking like July 4th fireworks!! So I ripped it off, too unsafe.

by: Gary 09/26/2018

Just received heater today.
Looks like it should be perfect for the oil pan installation on my Kubota diesel UTV.
Hope to do a after season review next spring.

Working great. Diesel started every time!

by: Matt 02/06/2021 One Year Later

Works awesome! This is the second one, the first burned out after two years. We use them on 4 wheelers in the winter, on timers for 2 hrs twice a day. Put on lower crank case to warm oil...starts much easier. This one still working well after 1 year.

Still working fine

by: Dick 01/30/2019

This is the second Kats engine heater I have purchased and both are good quality and durable. This is also the second purchase I have made at eTrailer.com and I am totally satisfied with the cost, the no charge shipping, fast delivery and great follow up to make sure my order was correct and was delivered. I will definitely order from eTraler.com again should I need a component or a part.

by: Isaac 02/13/2022

I installed this on a DEF tank in my diesel to keep it from freezing when I’m parked overnight in sub zero temps. I ran the cord along the frame rail as far as it would reach then attached an extension cord and routed that to come out in the same area as my block heater plug. Be sure to clean the surface of whatever you’re attaching the pad to in order to get good adhesion.

by: Richard 01/18/2019 One Year Later

Installed this heater on the transmission of my Ford Escape. Works perfectly. Now the truck will shift into gear in cold weather. (I know I need a new transmission but the truck is not worth it) but this heater has bought me an extra year out of my truck. Thanks etrailer.

Using heaters to warm up batteries on an electric drag racing car for cool weather racing. Batteries make more power when warm. The heaters work great!

Used on transmission oil pan, works well. Good price, prompt shipping, good advice from tech dept. about placement and installation. Overall rating excellent.

by: Jason 08/16/2023 One Year Later

I used this through a winter in the north where it regularly is at subzero temperatures. Truck always started without any issues. I also had heat pads on the oil pan and transmission that I bought from etrailer. At -40+ degrees the truck always started relatively easy.

by: Tom 11/20/2020

We use these pads for cold-weather kits on generators. Good product, order early there is a lead time.

by: Richard 08/12/2022

This worked great with a hydrolc tank holding 7 gal of fluid. Gets the temp upto 70 deg F in the winter.
Wish it had aa adjustable thermostat.

by: mike 01/20/2017 One Year Later

I used it on an elevated stock tank works good at -4 did not let water freeze used 4 heaters

by: Ronnie 09/20/2017

Love anything from etrailer....always fast shipping and great product's....thank you will order again soon

by: Dennis 02/20/2019

Needed this heater to keep the hydraulic oil reservoir in my bucket truck above freezing temperatures. Did a great job.

by: JK 12/19/2022

We use it on the oil pan of our sprinter fleet. We run in subzero temps a couple times a year and this works great for us when our fleet has to sit outside overnight. Great product just make sure to research the size you need for your application.

Do you have a question about this Oil Pan Heater?

Transmission Heater Pad and Function in Cold Weather
Kat's says their Silicone pads like # KH23075 will get hot enough they warn that they can burn a person or melt an item that cannot withstand that heat. They however do not give a temperature for that 75 watt model. That is the only 12V option the rest run on 120V and there is one that is larger at 5-1/2 inches by 8-1/2 inches that is 500 watts and claimed to run between 300 and 400 degrees. Unfortunately the questions you are asking about timing, temperature, and consumption can't...
