Yes, it would be fine to have the heater pad curve along the surface of the oil pan. As long as all of the pad is contacting the oil pan you are fine. view full answer...
The Kat's Heaters Oil or Transmission Pan Heating Pad # KH24025 has a flexible silicone covering so it can fit around ridges and corners as-needed. It will work great for your application!

I looked up how much oil a replacement oil pan for a 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 holds and found it to be 6 quarts, which would make the Kat's Heaters Oil/Transmission Pan Heating Pad - 5" x 4" - 120V - 150W # KH26150 a great option as it is designed for 5 - 8 quart engine oil pans.
There is no specific size of oil pan heater that fits a 2015 Chevy Silverado as these heaters are not made for specific vehicles, they are made for the amount of oil the vehicle has, like you said. view full answer...
I recommend using the Kat's Heaters Oil/Transmission Pan Heating Pad # KH26150 which is a malleable pad that is attached to your oil pan via a 3M sticky pad and provides heat to keep your oil or transmission fluid from thickening in sub zero temperatures. Since you'll be able to bend this pad to fit your rounded oil pan on your 2006 Subaru Legacy Outback, this is the perfect solution. view full answer...
The Kat's Heaters Oil or Transmission Pan Heating Pad - 4" x 5" - 120V - 100 Watts # KH24100 is rated for oil pans that are a little larger than what you have. For your application I recommend using the Kat's Heaters Oil/Transmission Pan Heating Pad - 2" x 5" - 120V - 50W # KH26050 instead since it's smaller. view full answer...
The Kat's Heaters Oil or Transmission Pan Heating Pad # KH24100 will work with 5-7 gallon diesel tanks, as well as 1 - 5 gallon hydraulic tanks, 0 - 2 gallon water tanks and 2 - 5 quart engine oil pans. view full answer...
The Kat's Heaters Engine Oil Dipstick Heater # KH15200 is the only option in that style. If 5 inches of the heating element is submerged in the oil, it will still work for you, but that seems unlikely based on the 27 inch length of the original dipstick.
Another option for you is to use the Kat's Heaters Oil/Transmission Pan Heating Pad - 5" x 4" - 120V - 150W - Grounded Plug # KH26150 to heat your oil pan and keep the fluid warm for easy startup. view full answer...
The amount of time it takes the Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnetic Heater w/ Thermostat parts # KH1155 to warm up the oil pan, engine block, battery hold down, transmission pan, or hydraulic tank varies per vehicle but the standard amount of time is 3 hours depending on the weather. It does have a 275 degree automatic shut off. view full answer...
Kat's Heaters confirms that for the 2017 Toyota Prius base model their frost plug heater # KH11813 is a confirmed fit. Their install instructions are linked for you and these note the installation location is in the block core hole at the center of the front of the engine. It is not necessary to drain coolant.
Another way to warm your engine for easier starting is to use a dipstick-type oil heater # KH15200 that simply slides into your dipstick tube. This oil heater will work on pretty... view full answer...
The Kat's Heaters Engine Oil Dipstick Heater part # KH15200 is a universal fit item that will work on a variety of different makes and models. There are only two requirements for the dipstick heater to work. The engine oil dipstick opening must be 1/4" in diameter or larger and at least 5 inches of the heating element must be submerged in the oil. The heating element on the above dipstick is 23" long. As most diesel truck engine's use a dipstick much longer than this, I recommend using... view full answer...
For a magnetic engine oil heater that will work well with the 6.0L V8 engine in your 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 2500, I recommend using the Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnum Magnetic Heater part # KH1190. The Kat's Handi-Heat has a magnetic base which can be attached to several different vehicle components such as an engine block, oil pan, intake manifold, transmission pan, or battery hold down.
I have attached a review video of the above heater for you as well. view full answer...
Yes, the Kat's Heaters Oil or Transmission Pan Heating Pad - 4" x 5" - 120V - 150 Watts part # KH24150 will work on the 2014 Acura ILX 2.0. The heating pad attaches the oil or transmission pan with very strong 3m tape. It is already sealed with a silicone material to resist oil and acid so the silicone is not needed. view full answer...
I do have an option for you but Kat's does not make an Engine Oil Dipstick Heater like part # KH15200 long enough to work for your application. The above dipstick heater is for smaller vehicles and would not work well for your 2007 GMC Sierra.
A better option for you would be to use a pad heater like the Kat's Heaters Heating Pad part # KH24150. The heating pad can be placed on either your vehicle's oil or transmission pan. The heater will be much more equipped for your truck as it is... view full answer...
The Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnum Magnetic Engine Oil Heater, part # KH1190 is designed to warm the engine oil in cars, trucks, and farm machinery.
This features a magnetic base that attaches to a metal surface like an oil pan and has heat output between 300 and 400 degrees F. The heating area is approximately 20 square inches.
I am not sure this would be ideal for a generator due to the size of the motor on a generator. Many times a generator will have aluminum oil pans which would... view full answer...
The Kat's Heaters Engine Block Heater # KH11813 is intended for use in the 3.5L V6 and 2.5L inline 4-cylinder engines offered in the 2015 Camry, including the hybrid XLE.
The other type of heater you can use for your transmission or engine oil pans is their # KH24500 which is a pad-type heater that measures 8-1/2 long x 5-1/2 wide. It attaches to the underside of your vehicle's oil or transmission pan with included 3M tape.
We also offer a dipstick-type oil heater # KH15200 which is easy... view full answer...
I cannot say for certain but when the temperature that your generator is subjected to is cold, the oil inside the generator is also cold which means it is much thicker than at operating temperature. The thicker oil combined with your low oil shut-off is likely the reason as to why the generator will not fire up in the cold. I have done some additional research online and this seems to be the general consensus as well.
The perfect way to combat this issue would indeed be to use the Kat's... view full answer...
The Kat's Heaters Engine Oil Dipstick Heater part # KH15200 is a universal fit oil heater that is designed to work on a variety of applications. We have not yet tested this heater on a 2006 Ford F-150 but as long as your dipstick tube is 1/4" in diameter or larger and at least 5" of the 24" dipstick is submerged in oil, then this heater will work well for you.
A better option would be to use a pad heater like the Kat's Heaters Heating Pad part # KH26150 which is compatible with almost... view full answer...
From what I could find the M14x1.5 oil drain plug on your 1991 Volkswagen Vanagon looks like it has a 1/2" diameter. The Kat's Heaters Oil and Coolant Immersion Heater # KH30904 you referenced has a 1/2" diameter as well but they likely have different thread sizes.
I recommend using a different type of heater like the Handi-Heat Magnetic Heater w/ Thermostat # KH1155 instead since it simply sits on your oil pan. view full answer...
Yes, the Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnetic Heater w/ Thermostat # KH1155 will help keep engine block or oil pan heated to help start your 2020 Polaris XP1000 in extreme cold temperatures. The only issue you might have is just fitment depending on the space available and the material used for whatever part you're sticking the magnet to.
For example, if you wanted to stick it on the oil pan but it's made of aluminum you wouldn't be able to get it to stick to it. This magnet heater is 3-5/8"... view full answer...
The Kat's Heaters Thermostatically Controlled Circulating Tank Heater - 120V - 1,500 Watts # KH13150 was designed to for use on cooling systems with 26 - 40 quarts of fluid and your John Deere 4030 only holds 22 quarts so I do not recommend using it. Instead I recommend the Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnum Magnetic Heater - 120V - 5" x 4-1/4" - CSA Approved # KH1190 which will magnetically connect to your tractor's oil pan, engine block, battery hold down, transmission pan, or hydraulic... view full answer...
