Oil Pan Heating Pad for 12 qt Oil Pan

Question:

Application: Lycoming I0 470 aircraft engine, 12 qt oil pan. Do you have a thermostat controlled heating pad? Which pad would you recommend for my plane. Thank you.

For that big of an oil pan you'd want our biggest heating pad part # KH24500 which is 5-1/2 inch by 8-1/2 inch. This is thermostatically controlled too so it will keep the oil warm but would not get overly hot. Considering how hot motor oil gets over-heating it with a pad like this would be extremely difficult for what its worth.
