oil pan heater? August 24, 2011 11:51AM
Where is a good place to get a 110v heater that I can install on my oil pan? How many watts do most people use? I saw Summit has a Moroso that is 212 watts, it was recommended for 12 quarts of oil, doesn't seem like enough for 5-6 gallons of oil. Thanks for any suggestions.

Take a look around here. I use them on my vehicles. I see the model 80 is made for 24-48 quart pans. However it says its only 100 watts. This has to be a misprint because the model 16 that I use for 5-13 quart pans is 250 watts. I've had good luck with them.

I was looking for something with an element that went into the oil that I could thread into the oil pan, and just plug in when I need to. I currently have one in the rearend of the tractor, but don't know where it came from because it was on the rearend when I bought it.

Thoes kind of elements are not a heaters. It is a maintainer for already warmed up oil. If it were an element it would cook the oil and become caked with crud. They are used in the winter when you are done for the day and put er back in the shed.

We just used a IH block heater element purchased at the local dealer. It will get the oil hot enough in a couple of hours that you cant touch the pan and even the valve cover is warm.

They make heaters that are self contained, you just screw them in and your done. I'll check to see if I can find the brand name.
