[QUOTE="seagreg, post: 12303175, member: 281283"]Dipstick heaters are typically far lower wattage, most being below 100w while the immersion heaters are typically the 12 A 120 V circuit continuous max load of 1500 W. They really can't kick it much higher because the watts per square inch is limited without destroying the oil. If you live in some warm place without much wind they may help, but I would be in trouble where I live.[/QUOTE]
