Think of coming home after driving through slush, salted streets and you're home and the crud is dripping off the car . . . now to put on the block heater. There is a lot to be said for not getting under the car in bad weather for any reason.

You might look at this product:

It comes in two sizes and the smaller one fits my NHW11, 03 Prius transaxle pan. The larger one would easily fit on the ICE oil pan. It would take one day to install, let it cure over night, and you're done.
