I'd like to get one but have no experiance with them. Ideally I'd just like it to help with cold starts & warm up the accord faster in the morning.

I'm assuming this is a DIY install.



I found these links.

I'm iffy on the magnetic oil plan style because it could fall off if from it something hit it (snow, branch, ect)
I like the idea of the freeze plug style but where is the freeze plug on K24 blocks?

1) so that heats up the coolant which helps keep the oil warm?
Wouldn't it be better to have a heater probe that directly keeps the oil warm?

2) I also worry about getting shocked. I mean the heater cord is wet (from snow/slush) and the extension cord from the garage outlet is wet wouldn't that shock you because current can travel through water even if the cords are plastic?
