Proheat Heavy Duty Fluid Reservoir Heater Model 512csa (250 Watts, 2.1 Amp, 120 Volts) Ideal for Oil Pans from 1 to 3 Gallon of Lube (4.5 to 12 litres) and up to 10 to 30 Gallons of Hydraulic Oil

This item is a piece of junk!!! It burned up 10 minutes after it was plugged in. I'm lucky it did not set my truck on fire!!!! Do not waste your money!!!

I have a TC-30 diesel tractor that I use for all kinds of tasks at home and a small landscaping business. When it gets really cold (in Virginia this means 20 degrees or less) the three point hydraulics poop out. I have a snow and leveling blade that runs off the three point, but what good is a snow plow that doesn't work when it gets cold? Not much!! Enter the Proheat Fluid Reservoir Heater. I glued this little gem to the area under the transaxle, as per included instructions and , voila! I just need to plug it in overnight or a few hours before I want to use the plow (depending on how cold it is) and the hydraulics work like a charm. Excellent investment.

lasted 5min, then burnt up.

Definitely makes a difference when starting up my F-150, even in temps as low as -20F. I have it set on a timer to start in the morning a few hours before I head out so it won't run all night. It does what it advertises (heats up oil and surely helps with cold starts), but if you're looking to get warm air from your heater more quickly this probably isn't the best bet. I does help some, but a frost plug replacement or coolant heater would work best for that. However, even running just a few hours before I head out I do notice my temp gauge pops up faster, and even faster still if I let it run all night. Gets hot enough in a few second that you can't even touch it...watch out!! For the install, it's fairly simple (it took about 30 minutes). It came with everything needed...the pad is adhesive backed (sandpaper included to make sure you create a good bond), silicone to seal around the edges and a few wire-ties to run the cord to the front of the vehicle.

I purchased this in 2010 for a diesel forklift. It is only used in the winter when the temp gets near or below freezing, not frequently or hard used in Virginia winter. Works perfectly all these years. I just ordered one for my truck.

Wasn’t as good as expected. Unit burned out within a week

Appeared to be a good product, all parts were included in the box as stated. Don't know how long it will last, but it's working just fine. It's been below zero last few nights and my truck started easy. Had a little trouble finding a flat spot for the heater, had to install it on the side of the motor. Not the products falt.

This unit was put on our 100 ton Lima crane to keep the oil warm in the Winter months. It works well keeping the oil warm for early morning starts. I would use this product again on another crane we have in the company. I would recommend this product.
