Engine block heater or oil pan heater for 2018 xc90

Post by Mkoot »

Good day, new guy Mike, first forum.
Absolutely love my vehicle and just need some direction on adding an engine block heater (I don’t think I have that option) or adding an oil pan heater, how big (size) and how many watts?
-30c isn’t fun starting cold.
Thank you

Give the EU guys a few days to respond on this

You don’t need tons of heat to lift oil into a decent flow viscosity, maybe 200 watts max
