  • Engine Oil Heater for a 2006 Ford F-150
  • 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...

  • Can The Kat's Heaters Vehicle Interior Heater # KH37100 Prevent Snow Accumulation On A Vehicle Roof
  • The Kat's Heaters Vehicle Interior Heater # KH37100 would definitely help keep the interior of a Mini Cooper warm during snowy weather, but it hasn't been tested to see if the rise in temperature would be enough to warm the top high enough to melt any snow accumulation. This heater doesn't have an on/off switch so you'd have to have it on a timer switch to prevent it from running constantly. The temperature isn't controllable but the heater does have an overheat protection feature to shut...

  • Will Kat's Heaters Circulating Tank Heater Work on 2003 Tacoma with 3.4L V6
  • I spoke to my tech contact at Kat's Heaters and he confirmed that many owners of vehicles such as your 2003 3.4L V6 Tacoma are using the Circulating Tank Heater # KH13100. The heater's high fluid volume capacity is not any issue. We do also offer many lower radiator hose adapters like # KH28114 that you can see by scrolling down on the page for the heater.

  • Recommended Engine Block Heater For 2012 Mazda CX-5
  • It looks like you are interested in an engine heater for your 2012 Mazda CX-5. If you have 3/4 inch frost plug in your engine block, I recommend the Kat's Heaters Custom Engine Block Heater, part # KH11409 that will work great for you. You just replace the frost plug on your engine and plug the heater in. It provides 400 watts and keeps the engine fluids from becoming thick in cold weather.

  • Can Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnetic Heater be Stored Below Zero Temperature
  • There's nothing you can do to the Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnetic Heater w/ Thermostat # KH1155 if the outside temperature is below zero because there's no way to heat the heater. If you are going to be experiencing sub-zero temperatures, you should remove the # KH1155 from your vehicle and not permanently store it.

  • Is The Kat's Heater Engine Oil Dipstick Heater Compatible With My 2004 GMC Sierra
  • If the dipstick on your 2004 GMC Sierra is straight and is 18" or shorter, the Kat's Heaters Engine Oil Dipstick Heater, part # KH15200, will work for your vehicle. This dipstick heater needs to have at least 5" of the heating element submerged in the oil. I have included a video demo link below.

  • Recommended Engine Oil Heater for a 2007 GMC Sierra
  • 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...

  • Will Kat's Lower Radiator Hose Heater Work Well Enough for -40 Degree Temperatures
  • There are a couple of things to consider. First is the 1997 Honda Civic going to be stored outside or in a garage? Second does the vehicle use a 100 percent anti-freeze solution or a 50/50 mix? The heater # KH16400 cannot be used with a 100 percent solution. If outside the wind could cool down the system as quick as the heater could warm it. The heater is rated at 400 watts. If the vehicle is kept in a garage and is not using a 100 percent anti-freeze solution the heater will be able to...

  • Will Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnum Magnetic Heater Work in Outside Cold Climate
  • The Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnum Magnetic Heater # KH1190 is not vehicle-specific so it will work with your Kubota BX2200. It will also work really well outside, assuming you have the ability to plug it into 120-volt AC outlet. This heater will generate heat between 300 and 400 degrees so even in the frigid winter temps of the upper northeast, the Magnum Magnetic Heater # KH1190 will provide more than enough heat for your Kubtoa.

We have confirmed the fit of this specific heater with Kat's Heaters. This product is a custom fit, meaning it will only fit certain vehicles.

  • Engine and Oil Heaters for 2017 Toyota Prius
  • 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...

  • Engine Block Heater for a 2008 Kia Rio with a 1.6L I4 Engine
  • The correct engine block heater for your 2008 Kia Rio with the 1.6L I4 engine is the Kat's Heaters Custom Engine Block Heater part # KH11485. I have attached the installation instructions for you as well. The engine block heater will replace one of your frost plugs located on the drivers side of the engine, closest to the grill. You can see this position labeled as "LF" in the attached photo. Contrary to a cartridge style engine block heater, the above frost plug style heater is much...

  • Engine Block Heater for 2018 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid
  • Yes, you can use an engine block heater on the Hybrid version of the 2018 Toyota RAV4. The Hybrid version still has a 2.5L I4 Engine. I recommend to use the Kat's Heaters Custom Fit Engine Block Heater - Cartridge Style part # KH11813. The cartridge style is much easier to use and a lot better for your vehicle compared to the ether options.

  • Engine Block Heater for 1982 Ford F150 w/ 5.8L V8 Engine
  • Kat's Heaters lists the # KH11610 as being the proper block heater for a Ford 5.8L V8, manufactured from 1966-1998. I've looked over the Kat's heaters application guide, and do not see where the # KH11606 is mentioned as a fit for the Ford 5.8L V8 in a 1982 F150.

  • Oil Pan Heater for 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500
  • 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.

  • Recommended Magnetic Engine Oil Heater for a 2007 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 with the 6.0L V8 Engine
  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Engine Block Heater for 2012 Toyota Tacoma With 2.7L I4 Engine
  • I checked with Kat's about the correct engine block heater for your 2012 Toyota Tacoma with a 2.7L I4 engine, I confirmed that the correct fit is the Kat's Heaters Custom Engine Block Heater # KH11481. According to Kat's, this will install in the right front (RF) of your engine, as you can see by the accompanying cut out I added. The other heater that you mentioned, the Cartridge Style # KH11813, is only a fit for a '12 Tacoma with a 4.0L V6 engine, so it won't work with your truck.

  • Does The Pilot Light Need To Be Turned Off On An RV Water Heater While Refueling Tow Vehicle
  • The pilot light would be covered enough by components/door of the water heater to not have to worry about it igniting the gasoline while refueling unless you were directly spraying gas on door of the water heater. The Dometic RV Water Heater - Gas and Electric - Automatic Pilot - 120 Volt - 10,000 Btu - 6 Gal Tank # DMC74FR is a WH-6GEA model so it would be a correct replacement for your current water heater.
