Spec sheet
Collected from 1 supplier page - confirm fit with the supplier before ordering.
An engine block heater is a simple device that uses electricity to power a heating element that warms the engine block and engine oil. Depending on the model and style of heater, it might also warm the coolant. There are several styles, but they all work generally the same, by plugging into a standard electrical outlet with a goal of warming up the engine oil before the engine is started.
