Installation
- A simple one time, 10-minute installation at your next oil change, as it threads directly into the oil sump, and you are finished.
Reviews
This is very easy to install during oil change. The wattage is actually about 150 watts so I dont believe there is any risk to the oil being cooked as some have suggested. So far its great and I would recommend.

Anti-Splat No Hassle Engine Pre-Heater
I have had the anti-splat heater in my IO540 for 2years and about 50 hrs of use with it. I had a small leak that I needed to take care of yesterday. After loosening the unit, it would not drop down from the engine. After about 45 minutes I was able to finally get it removed by SLOWLY twisting and turning the unit. Looking at the unit after removal there is a large build up of carbon on the heating element which was larger than the threaded opening. Now I am dealing with removing the carbon that was dislodged while removing the unit. 35hr oil changes, Aeroshell w100. I will not be installing the unit do to this problem. I will contact the manufacture
I have had the anti-splat heater on my IO540 for approximatly 2 year
