I've not seen this item discussed on this list, so I asked Oscar (New Brunswick) if I could post
his email to the list.  Interesting.  FYI:

Subject: Oil Pan Heater VW Vanagon (Block Heaters)

Oscar, thank you for visiting our web site and requesting pricing on an oil pan heater for your
1980 VW Vanagon.

Our oil pan heaters are thin, flexible heating pads that are  permanently bonded to the oil pan.
The heater has the special adhesive already on it, by simply peeling of the protective backing and
pressing the  heater firmly in place on a clean, flat surface, the heater is ready to be used.

No special tools or skills are required. Everything for a complete installation is included with
each heater.

An Oil Pan Heater is far superior to a block heater and more  efficient.

A block heater only "warms" a part of the engine.

An Oil Pan Heater "heats" the complete engine starting at the bottom. The hot oil heats the
crankshaft, which in turn heats the connecting rods, pistons and cylinder heads. Remember "heat"
rises.

By installing an Oil Pan Heaters, your vehicle will start easier and there will be less engine
wear.

We recommend the model 9.0 for your VW Vanagon.

The price of the model 9.0 is $59.00.00 Cdn. Dlrs Shipping charges are included in price.

For your convenience we accept Visa & Master Card and personal cheques  .

To order simply, email or fax your shipping address to us and payment details and we can ship same
day. (we ship after bank clearance when paying by cheque)

If you have any questions, please contact us.  Regards, David
