I don't believe this unit has the capacity for your motor oil capacity this will heat 7 quarts of oil nice and warm in about 3 hours at that temperature for me

Runs on normal household current. 110 volt, 40 watts. Reaches max heat when cat is resting on pad. I love it and so do my outside cats, it's perfect!!!!!!

I let it run through the 15 min. cycle with heat. It will start right back up if I want it to. Honestly, 15 min. is enough....this thing isn't for pansies. ;)

The unit comes with the cover shown. You heat the unit in the microwave according to the directions, then once it's warm, you cover it with the cover provided. We use these for a colony of cats that we rescued, and they work great. We've found that they stay warm for about 8 hours in really cold weather. Outside, we use straw (the same stuff gardeners use as mulch) to cover the unit, and the cats then curl up on top of the straw and the unit underneath that. It's wonderful, and the cats seem to love it.

I'd say an hour or two max. This is the perfect heater for that size. I have mine in a Fluval edge 6g.

Maybe 15-25 minutes. I have 220 and heats up to that in less than 5 minutes. Not real sure but its a good heater for money and you can use differ fuels.

I don't know the exact temperature, but I would say the temperature is about equivalent to a low setting on a heating pad or maybe a little lower. It is enough to keep the bed warm, but not too warm. My cats sleep in our garage, so it can get cold in there especially in winter. I leave the bed plugged in most of the day and all night with no issues. My cats both love this bed and will often be found curled up together in this bed. My female cat has arthritis and had a lot of trouble getting around. After buying this bed for my cats, Ebony stopped limping and doesn't seem as stiff when moving. So I highly recommend this bed, especially if you have an old and arthritic cat.

It is to the extent I have used it, I have taken it to 400 F for 20 minutes, and prolonged heat at 320 for up to 3 hours.

It all depends on how cold the space is before you start heating. At 30 degrees outside, it takes this heater about 30 mins to warm a space 18 x 30 x 8' high, to 65 degrees.

you will have to describe the area to be heated better. What is 15# Where do you live...how cold does it get?

I'm not sure anyone could answer this question in reality. My bill is different every month. Our weather varies every month. I could tell no difference. It doesn't not get as warm as a heating pad. You can put a timer if you only want to used it at night. It couldn't cost anymore than a night light I would say. It depends on how badly you want your cat to stay warm in extreme cold. It was worth whatever it cost to keep my cat from being without ANY warmth when it was 8degrees in his shed. He LOVES it. I have it over a year and I would order another one right now if I needed to. But it has worked great now almost through 2 winters. Hope this helps. I'm not sure anyone could answer this question in reality. My bill is different every month. Our weather varies every month.

Yes, he will be heavy enough to heat the pad. They recommend putting a pillow on top of it to get it warm. That way, the cat will take to it faster.

I would have to agree with the others, about 5 min is good, but if you want to pre heat to 400 I think that will take a bit longer.

Mine is in a bedroom, about14 ft. square. It takes around 3 hours to warm it up 20 degrees. I have had no problems.

The type of heating element. The 157 is a solid element with a much longer lasting life but takes a few minutes to heat up. The 154 has a wire heating element which should not last as long but heats much quicker. I have the 157 and it takes about 2 minutes to get going.

It takes a meal about 40 minutes to heat up. I like it because I spend most of my time in my pickup and often out in no man's land. It's nice to have a hot meal in the cold weather.
