Went ahead and ordered an oil pan heater to help with cold starts up here in ND for this winter. Last winter the block heater seemed to do very little. Coolant temp in the block would be maybe 60, then once I would start it it would drop to 30s maybe. So I figured I wanted to try something else
This is Wolverine's model 38 (M38) it isn't actually on their website right now, I found out about it by called and talking to a sales rep (who was extremely helpful). I believe it's 480W. He claimed this pad could/would heat the oil to around 80-100 degrees depending on ambient temp.
Install was simple, comes with instructions and high temp rtv to seal the pad to the pan. (It has adhesive on the pad also). He claimed the best placement was going to be on the front of the pan so that's where I put it
Here it is, just stuck on
Here, with the supplier rtv sealing it.
This heater was $89.
