Installed a block heater in the Previa and changed 3 fluids.

Lot's of hills here and mostly short trips so I'm hoping for a big boost in mpg. 400watts but it takes forever to heat up. Better get some 12 gauge ext cord.

All that grovelling under the beast better be worth it.

Somewhere between the header and the oil pan is a little hole...



Yup, that's what I had to work around. Shiny new heater. Made in canada, natch.
