Here is the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NXId9WcP-s At around 30 secs in you see the black plastic device mounted to the opening in the oil pan. I have often wondered what the opening in the pan is for. He calls it a sensor. Anyhow, he calls it a sensor. If it is a heater how do they work compared to the frost heaters? Seems like an easy install if a guy can get one.
