Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a quick look at this Kats Heaters oil or transmission pan heating pad. Now this is a really a cold weather helper for your vehicle. This is going going to gently warm your engine oil or transmission fluid, which is gonna make a big difference for you in the winter. When fluids are warm, obviously they're going to flow better, so your engine's going to get better lubrication right away and your transmission is going to shift more smoothly instead of feeling stiff or sluggish in the cold. So by helping the oil flow properly or more smoothly from the startup, this is going to help reduce wear on your engine and support longer, better overall performance, especially on those freezing mornings.
So this is built to hold up well. The silicone cover is going to resist oil and acid and it's going to install easily by sticking directly to the underside of your oil pan or transmission pan using strong 3M adhesive. So you'll just peel that back to expose that adhesive and stick this on. So what's nice about this type of setup is there's no drilling or complicated tools needed. Then you'll just plug this into a standard 120 volt outlet using the attached three-prong plug, and it's gonna quietly do its job.
It's CSA approved for safety, runs at 50 watts, and this has a nearly a five foot cord, about 59 and a half inches long. So it's gonna give you quite a bit of flexibility when plugging this in. Now, just to give you some measurements of the pad itself, looking at the overall length, pretty close to five inches. Width, two inches. If you happen to have any other questions, whether it's about this heater or anything that we have here at etrailer, don't hesitate to reach out to us.
We wanna make sure that you're getting exactly what you need. Well, again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
Ratings & Reviews
We use these pads for cold-weather kits on generators. Good product, order early there is a lead time.
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.
Used on transmission oil pan, works well. Good price, prompt shipping, good advice from tech dept. about placement and installation. Overall rating excellent.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I put this heater on my RV water heater to prevent it from freezing. So far it works well.
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 !!!
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.
Roger in North Dakota.
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.
Easy installation and heats up quickly.
Made in USA!
just got it but should help with what i got it for. nice sticky backing.
Small, but works as expected for its si ze
I’ve purchased these heaters in the past and they work well. Buying from etrailer was trouble free.
The product is what I ordered. I was limited on smooth contact area to mount it. So, if functions as designed. I wish I could have installed a larger higher output unit for my application. Thanks for checking in. Have a great weekend.
[Thumbs up]
