Q: How long is the cord?
3 years ago2 Answers
A: If I recall correctly it’s about 6-8 feet long. I put one on a 2018 Silverado with the 6 litre engine and there was plenty of cord to secure it and leave the plug on the outside of the hood.

Q: Would this product work on my oil pan? I have a 2007 Toyota Yaris Hatchback LE. I don't know if my oil pan is steel or aluminum. Which product would be better: Polar Pad or Zero Start Super Heat Magnet? I'm in Ottawa and it can get to minus 30 degrees out.
12 years ago2 Answers
A: I have a Polar Pad installed on my Mazda Tribute. It has been sticking for over 2 years so far. Seems to be doing a good job. Worked so good I put one on my garden tractor so it would start in winter. I find them expensive but they are worth it. I tried a heat magnet but I found it didn't transfer heat as good and it moved around and does not stick to aluminum.

Q: What is the maximum temperature that the thermostat will allow the oil to heat?
5 years ago1 Answer
A: We used to have some with thermostats in them but stopped offering them a few years. Our current offering is designed to warm the oil but will not burn it. Therefore we have the wattage and volume chart in our catalog and on the instructions, we put in the packages we ship to Canadian Tire to let the customer know the safe wattage for their application. This chart gives you the correct wattage based on the amount of fluid being warmed. The actual temperature the pad reaches will be will depend on the ambient temperature. These pads will warm the fluid to a higher temperature at 0 degrees Celsius than at -40.
