Expert Answers about Heaters


  • Recommended Oil Heater For A 2005 Subaru Outback 2.5
  • 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.

  • How to Determine Fit of Fogatti RV Tankless Water Heater
  • The Foggati tankless water heaters are 100 percent going to be an upgrade over a standard water heater due to their efficiency, as it only uses energy when you turn on the hot water instead of a standard heater that is always using up energy to keep the water hot.
