Can I leave this on for an extended time period at a lower temperature, say, 150 for 24 hours? Does the heating element actually immerse in the oil?

I think it has a time limit of 8 hrs. The element does go in the oil or other liquid.

This device worked for a very short time. I believe it worked with a very low heat to release the oils.

I haven't tried it that way...I would keep the lid closed just to keep the temperature up. Also cuts down on oil in air.

I often leave mine on continuously overnight and for several days. Just ensure your heat setting is not too high.

We've left ours on for a month with no problems. It is thermostatically controlled so it seems easier to keep it on all the time than start from scratch every time we want to use it (the wax does harden when the unit is off).

YouTube it! I usually wipe oil on all over put it in the oven and turn the stove on at 500F 30 minutes; then turn it down to 300F until oil burns off without smoke! I repeat at least twice. Remember to open you windows and fans! Enjoy! WITH PROSPERITY THERE IS NO WAR!

Actually, none of these are accurate. I contacted the company and the official temperature is NO MORE THAN 480°. An oily feeling is supposed to be normal, but I would agree that using less than 400° would probably be best. I made public the information pdf that they emailed me. It is located here: http://goo.gl/IaTsT

Not too long, 5min maybe. It should be quite warm but not hot, let the car sit 15min or so to drain down after running. This is a great product but will spew oil on you eventually if you don't do a simple fix you can find online. Do it while it's brand new for the easiest, cleanest time.

No. The oil is encased in the heater. No muss, no fuss! It's a great heater!

I leave my balls in the rejuvenator for one hour. After an hour there is plenty oil on my ball at the 135 degree setting. It does a good job at getting oil out. Hope this answer your question.

We have also tried this, and left the oil in the fryer for about more than ten days and reused it several times during that period and no problem has occured. I am not a health expert and I do not want to cause any problems for anyone. All I am saying is we have done it and have not experienced any problems yet.

I got the 150 watt model like this and placed it on thin steel plate (with intent of bolting that up to a small engine that doesn't have a good surface). Without it bolted up to the engine, the plate temp was 140 degrees after 1 minute, then ~200 after another minute and I pulled the plug then. After letting it cool enough to handle it I bolted it up to the small engine. To begin with the engine temp was 42 degrees and after having it plugged in for 10 minutes the oil sump area of the engine was at ~65 degrees. I've not tried going overnight, but seeing the temp go to 200+ does show the possibility of how hot it could get (and one guy in a review of one of these says "unsafe in any application...cuz has no temp regulation..."). Of course other considerations include how cold is it for you (are you in a north state like Minnesota?) and where are you placing it (on an oil pan where you're just heating the oil or on a car engine block that's real thick). I may try a test of leaving mine on the small engine for at least an hour to see how hot it gets (both near the base where it is and near the top of the engine) and will add a post if I do.

65 degrees but there's also 3,settings of wattage used, remember the temp you set it how hot the oil is not necessarily the whole room temp esp if it's a large damp room.

I wish I knew, because this is a common problem. But I have a suggestion. When you are done using it, donot turn it off! Turn it on the coolest setting, zero I think, and let it cool down with air blowing through it. About 45 minutes. Otherwise you will burn up the heating element!

Sure! I use a wall time with mine. When you turn the dial it turns on. The more you turn it, the more oil is diffused. Just set the dial where you like it and then it will turn on (with the wall timer) at the setting you like.

The heater can stay on for 24 hours however I do not run mine for more than 12hours at a time

Not long. You want the temperature change to be slow anyways so it wont chock the system
