Engine Heater

An electric engine heater, or engine block heater, makes your engine easier to start in the cold. It warms the oil and antifreeze to prevent wear and tear on startup. This also helps the heater blow warm air more quickly and keep antifreeze from freezing inside the block in the coldest climates. There are several types of engine heaters. The easiest is inserted in place of the oil dipstick to heat the oil directly. There are also engine warming blankets that are similar to an electric blanket for your engine. Oil pan heaters and bolt-on block heaters heat the engine directly. Other options may also be available.
