Re: Oil pan heater
I honestly would rather have my oil heated than my antifreeze. Heated oil is less wear on the engine. I bought a magnetic oil pan heater that is 180 watts and stuck it to the side of the oil pan near the skid plate. There's not really enough room to mount it directly to the bottom and I think the side gives you more pan contact. I can take a picture this weekend if you still interested. I bough it at Schucks for 28 bucks. They also had a adhesive pad with 3m tape on the bottom that you seal with Silicone RTV. I put this on my wifes car and both work like a champ.
The block heater is good but the stealership wants too much money and I think warm oil is better than warm coolant.
