Most of our E-Z Heat pads come with a thermostat which allows you to keep them plugged in continuously, as long as you fly a couple times a month. The thermostat will come on at 120F and go off at 165F. Therefore it will keep your oil between these two temperatures at all times. The pads that do not come with a thermostat are the 154, 156, 912, and 9.U. These pads do allow you to leave them plugged in overnight without a problem but not more than 24 hours.

Since they are a permanent pad, they can not be reused. Once the built -in adhesive is removed, it can not be replaced.

Yes, but please follow the Cold Weather Installation Instructions included with your pad. Warm up your sump either by running the engine or with a heat source. Plug in the pad for no more than 5 seconds. It will get very hot to the touch right away. This activates the adhesive to make it easier to stick down. Make sure you either hold it down or prop it with something to hold it down for at least 15 minutes. This will insure proper attachment.

The thermostat will come on when your oil reaches 120F and go off at 165F
