Video Transcript for All You Need to Know About the Kat's Heaters Oil or Transmission Pan Heating Pad

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. And today, we're gonna take a brief look at this Kat's Heaters oil or transmission pan heating pad. This heating pad warms your oil or transmission fluid for better lubrication in the winter. Of course, warm transmission fluid allows for smoother gear shifting and warm oil is going to give you better lubrication for a longer lasting, better functioning engine. This pad is made here in the USA and it's going to resist oil and acid with this silicone cover.

And this is going to be a very, very simple installation that's going to attach to the underside of your vehicle's oil or transmission pan with this 3M tape. And so, it's going to stay very secure. And then you're just going to plug this into your 120 volt outlet. So, this has a wattage of 25 watts. And let me retrieve my ruler here and just give you some overall dimensions so you can be confident this is going to work for your particular application.

So, looks like the pad itself, we're sitting right at about five inches long. And then the width, we are sitting right at about 1 1/2 inches wide. We do have other heating pads of various sizes. So, if you're looking for something that's a little bit bigger than this, you can find those versions of this heating pad here at etrailer.com and instructions are included with this. Well, that's gonna conclude our brief look today.

I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me..

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.

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!

Product works great and am glad to have them. We use them to keep bee hives warm in the winter when connected to a thermostat.

I haven't been able to test these out yet but they are not as flexible as I was told so I hope they work.

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.

by: David 02/23/2019 One Year Later

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: Roger 11/08/2018 One Year Later

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!

by: Louis 11/21/2022

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: 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: 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.

by: James e. 12/11/2018 One Year Later

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.

Do you have a question about this Oil Pan Heater?

What is the Max Temperature of the Kats Heaters Oil/Transmission Heat Pad KH24025 and KH24050?
I reached out to my contact at Five Star Manufacturing (the maker of Kat's Heaters), and he confirmed that the 25-watt Kat's Heaters Oil or Transmission Pan Heating Pad 1-1/2" x 5" - 120V # KH24025 gets to about 150 degrees Fahrenheit. As far as the 50-watt # KH24050, they unfortunately do not have that spec. However, he did say that it does get considerably hotter than the 25-watt model.

Difference Between KH24025 and KH26025 Oil/Transmission Pan Heaters
According to my contact at Five Star manufacturing, the parent company of Kat's Heaters, the primary difference between the # KH24025 and # KH26025 is the way the heating element is ran in the pad itself. On the # KH24025, the wire used for the heating element is ran in a loop, while the element used in the # KH26025 is arranged in a serpentine fashion. My contact tells me that the # KH26025 would deliver a more even heat to the transmission or oil pan, which is why I'd recommend going...

Can You Cut/Splice and Combine Multiple Kat's Heaters Oil or Transmission Pan Heating Pad
The Kat's Heaters Oil or Transmission Pan Heating Pad part # KH24025 I cannot recommend cutting and splicing together as it create too much of a fire hazard. Therefore, you'll need to use an extension cord with multiple outlets for this application. They are designed for use with metal transmission and oil pans so we do not recommend use on plastics nor does the manufacturer. They get up to about 150 degrees Fahrenheit.

Is Kat's Heaters Oil or Transmission Pan Heating Pad Flexible
The Kat's Heaters Oil or Transmission Pan Heating Pad # KH24025 has a flexible silicone covering so it can fit around ridges and corners as-needed. It will work great for your application! Attached is a review video for you to check out.

How Long is the Power Cord on KH24025
Hey Sean! I measured the power cord of the Kat's Heaters Oil or Transmission Pan Heating Pad # KH24025 myself with a tape measure and came up with 57-3/4" from the end of the pad to the head of the plug. I didn't think to measure it, but with the plug included, I'd bet it's exactly 60". It is safe to use with a properly rated outdoor extension cord, so you don't need to be directly next to a plug to use it. How do you plan to use this heating pad? What vehicle is it going on?
