Question:
Can I leave either heater plugged in overnight, or is that too long? I plan to put one on the transmission fluid pan, and one on bottom of engine oil pan.

Expert Reply:
Yep, you're fine, Mary. Both the Zerostart Heat Magnet # ZE35MR and the Silicone Pad # ZE75MR have thermostats that cycle off around their rated temps, so they can safely stay plugged in overnight. Many users keep them on all night to ensure an easy morning start. Just be sure cords are clear of hot or moving parts, and unplug them when you're ready to start and hit the road.
What vehicle(s) do you plan to use these on?
