I have a few options for your 2006 Dodge Sprinter 2500 with 2.7L I5 Engine, a block heater like the Kat's Heaters Custom Engine Block Heater part # KH11483 or an engine oil pan heater like the Kat's Heaters Oil or Transmission Pan Heating Pad part # KH24500. I recommend the block heater as it's a custom fit, designed for your exact vehicle whereas the oil pan heater is a universal stick-on type.
I agree that an oil pan heater with direct submersion would be best but this is unfortunately... view full answer...
The Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnetic Heater # KH1155 referenced in your question will simply be placed on a flat area at the bottom of the oil pan for your 2014 Ford Escape.
If you are wanting to install the heater permanently you will unscrew the oil pan gasket bolt and secure the heater by bolting a piece of perforated metal strapping in place. Remove the handle from the heater and place it in the oil pan making sure it is low enough for maximum heat conduction.

While we don't have a frost plug style of heater confirmed as a fit for your 2016 Jeep Renegade with a 1.4 liter engine we do have a oil pan style heater that would work.
You could use a heater like part # KH24100 which will attach directly to the oil pan and keep the oil at the bottom of the pan warm. view full answer...
I checked with Kat's Heaters and they determine which heater to use by the OEM parts that are available for your vehicle. The 2016 Chevy Equinox with the 2.4L I-4 engine did not use a plug heater like the # KH11811, but instead will use an oil pan heater to accomplish the same thing. You will want to use the Kat's Heaters Oil or Transmission Pan Heating Pad # KH24100, which is the correct heater for your vehicle and will work on oil or transmissions with no more than 7 quarts of fluid.... view full answer...
The Kat's Heaters Oil or Transmission Pan Heating Pad # KH24100 referenced in your question can certainly be left on your oil pan all year long. Once those winter months return, simply plug the pad into any 120V outlet to keep the fluid from thickening in the cold. The pad features a silicone cover that will resist oil and acid. It measures 5 inches long and 4 inches wide. view full answer...
For your 2005 New Holland, I recommend using the Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnum Magnetic Heater w/ Thermostat - 120V - 5" x 4-1/4", # KH1190. This is heater that magneticlly mounts to your oil pan, engine block, or transmission pan. It will keep the fluids warm to make start up easier and keeps your oil or transmission fluid from thickening for a better lubricated engine or smoother gear shifting. view full answer...
The part # KH26150 that you referenced uses a flexible 4 X 5 inch heating pad that is attached by peeling the adhesive backing and sticking it to the surface you wish to heat. This is a 150 watt heating pad that has a silicone covering that resists oil and acid.
Before attaching the pad I would recommend thoroughly cleaning the oil pan. view full answer...
The magnet of the Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnetic Heater # KH1155 is strong enough that you can leave it installed on an oil pan. You'd just need to make sure the power cable is secure safely away from any moving or hot parts.
This also has a thermostat built into it to shut it off at 275 degrees so you can leave it plugged too and it won't overheat anything. view full answer...
The Kat's Heaters Oil or Transmission Pan Heating Pad part # KH24025 I cannot recommend cutting and splicing together as it create too much of a fire hazard. Therefore, you'll need to use an extension cord with multiple outlets for this application. They are designed for use with metal transmission and oil pans so we do not recommend use on plastics nor does the manufacturer. They get up to about 150 degrees Fahrenheit. view full answer...
The Kat's Heaters Oil Pan Heating Pad # KH24050 attaches to the oil pan with 3M tape. I have included a picture that shows the back of the heater where it attaches to the oil pan. If you want something that is magnetic I recommend # KH1155 which does have a magnetic base.
This magnetic heater puts out 300 to 400 degrees and was specifically designed for small engines like the one on your log splitter. At 1/4 inch thick, it won't be instantly warm but at 300 to 400 degrees it would not... view full answer...
If you clean the surface where you plan to mount the Kat's Heaters Oil or Transmission Pan Heating Pad # KH24500 it's going to stick and not come off. We've yet to have someone come back and report that one has came off. view full answer...
The element of the Kat's Heaters Oil Pan Heating Pad # KH26025 gets surprisingly hot. Kat's says it will get between 300 and 400 degrees if it were plugged in without touching anything! view full answer...
You can leave the Kat's heater part # KH1190 installed on your vehicle's oil pan at all times. You would need to make sure you unplug it before you start the vehicle though. view full answer...
If you wanted a battery heating pad for underneath the battery you'd want the part # KH22600 that you referenced or if you were looking for something that wraps around it you'd want the part # KH22300. If I were you I'd go with the wrapped style of heater unless you don't have the room for it.
The best option we have for an engine heater would be a pad that attaches to the oil pan like the part # KH26150. Using a pad like this with a battery heater would make cold start ups MUCH easier... view full answer...
For your application I definitely recommend using the Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnetic Heater w/ Thermostat # KH1155 to heat up the oil on your John Deer tractor. I don't know too much of the ins and outs of lawn tractors but I would imagine the oil pan is more shallow so you likely don't have the 4-5" depth you're talking about. Since this has an internal thermostat you won't have to worry about overheating anything either. view full answer...
Your best bet will be to go with the Kats Heaters Engine Oil Dipstick Heater # KH15200. We do not offer an immersion style heater that will work with your 2005 Subaru Outback. The Dipstick Heater, on the other hand, will be a great fit.
Another option is to go with a magnetic heater like the Kat's Heaters Handi-Heat Magnetic Heater # KH1155. The heater itself is 3-5/8" long x 2-1/4" wide and can be attached to the oil pan. view full answer...
The Kat's Heaters Custom Fit Engine Block Heater # KH11812 is designed to fit in the cartridge hole of the block of your 2014 Hyundai Accent. From the research I did this hole on your vehicle will be behind the exhaust manifold. Since that can be pretty difficult to access you may be also interested in the magnetic block heaters like the # KH26150 that attaches to the oil pan to keep the oil warm. view full answer...
While we don't have any block heaters that are custom fit for your 2008 GMC Acadia we do have a magnetic Kat's Heater part # KH1190 which you can attach to the side of your oil pan to keep the oil warm. view full answer...
We offer several types of heaters you can use on your Grasshopper mower's 36hp engine.
The pad type heaters like # KH24050 that attach to your oil (or transmission fluid) pan with 3M tape are one option, but for convenience I recommend a dipstick type engine oil heater # KH15200 which simply slips into the engine's dipstick receptacle. Unlike the pad heaters that require you to stow the cord after the unit is installed, the dipstick heater comes out completely when not in use and for me... view full answer...
