That’s great news, thanks for reporting. Can you link the one you used. There are some that are external and plug into an outlet. I believe the one you are talking about gets connected to your car battery and gets screwed into a plug in the block.I have been driving 50 years and never used a block heater....last summer I had one installed hoping it will help with the oil issue,,,,,yesterday was my first time ever using one....-11 degrees celcus and plugged in maybe 7 hours?...went out and remote started it and unplugged it right away and got in....backed out the driveway and felt warm air...went to end of street(maybe 15 or so houses) to stop sign....turned on to main street and looked down...7 bars already???? and heat.....this seems way to easy..anyone else had or have one?.....this has to help with the oil issue for sure.......any opinions?
I had to go to the dealer to get it and installed...$265 Canadian......it goes into block and I have it on a 120volt timer.......$$$ yes,,but lot cheaper in the USA......I cant get over how fast you get heat,will have to use it a bit more as we have lots of cold and snow coming to get the full value of itThat’s great news, thanks for reporting.

thanks, it looked like a pain to diy due to the location when I looked into this. However, your testimony gives more reason to install this.I had to go to the dealer to get it and installed...$265 Canadian......it goes into block and I have it on a 120volt timer.......$$$ yes,,but lot cheaper in the USA......I cant get over how fast you get heat,will have to use it a bit more as we have lots of cold and snow coming to get the full value of it
