Vortechtral Posted January 1, 2018 Report Share Posted January 1, 2018 So found out either my old pad heater that I put on is either not working, or barely working. When applying it long time ago I remembered that the bottom oil pan is rather a small surface. Is there it anyone's knowledge an after market bottom oil pan that bolts onto the top stock oil pan that has a much larger surface and no janky bends and un-even surfaces? This is on a 3.5 2013 Edge. I use a pan heater over the block heater since I also run a space heater inside the Edge. Having both the block heater and space heater on at the same time, even if the space heater is on low will pop the breaker in the house. A pan heater however doesn't take much power, so both can be on at the same time, even on high with the space heater. Having a heater inside helps keep frost off, melt snow on the glass before it has a chance to stick and bind. The best part is its nice and warm inside, even the steering wheel is warm, and that's just fantastic! Once you do it, you really cant live without it, especially with how winter is going so far in Canada! Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a friend near Winnipeg who uses a dipstick heater which has a pretty low current draw and cheap to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enigma-2 Posted March 20, 2018 Report Share Posted March 20, 2018 Don't think these pads were designed to fit plastic oil pans anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
