Speaker 1: Today, we're taking a look at the Kat's Heaters Oil or Transmission Pan Heating Pad. This is designed to warm oil or transmission fluid for better lubrication in the winter or colder weather. It'll warm your transmission fluid, which allows for a smoother gear shifting and it can also be used to warm oil to provide better lubrication for a longer lasting, better functioning engine.It is designed to resist oil and acid with a nice silicone cover. It attaches to the underside of your vehicle's oil or transmission pan with the three M adhesive tape. You just peel that off, stick it to the installation surface. Then, the power cord plugs into a 120 volt outlet.
The product is made in the USA. This piece right here, the heater, the pad measures two inches by five inches. When it comes to the wattage, we're looking at 50 watts.That's going to do it for today's look at the Kat's Heaters Oil or Transmission Pan Heating Pad.

Place this heating pad under your oil or transmission pan to keep the fluid from thickening in the winter. Warm fluids lubricate better for a long-lasting, well-functioning machine. Measures 5" long x 2" wide. Plugs into a 120-volt outlet.I attached it to my air compressor to warm the oil before I start it when it's cold. Works well. I plug it in about 1 hour before using the compressor.
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.
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.
We use these pads for cold-weather kits on generators. Good product, order early there is a lead time.
I used it on an elevated stock tank works good at -4 did not let water freeze used 4 heaters

Review from a similar Oil Pan Pad in Oil Pan Heater
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.

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.

Review from a similar Oil Pan Pad in Oil Pan Heater
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.
Review from a similar Oil Pan Pad in Oil Pan Heater
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 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 !!!
Review from a similar Oil Pan Pad in Oil Pan Heater
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.

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.

Review from a similar Oil Pan Pad in Oil Pan Heater
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.
