Additional Information

This crankcase heater plugs into a standard electrical outlet and warms the engine oil so it stays thinner in extremely cold temperatures, helping the engine turn over more easily.

If the engine is difficult to start in very low temperatures or the oil becomes thick and sluggish, installing a crankcase heater can improve cold-weather starting performance.

Disconnect power before handling the heater cord. Wear work gloves when installing the heater and working around the engine compartment.
