This is you we're talking about, so the answer to that is most likely a big old YES.
I wouldn't recommend helping anyone deliver any babies, just to be on the safe side, if you know what I mean.
As for cost, running synthetic oil is cheaper than fixing the cord, replacing the cord, replacing the current heater with another OEM one, or installing a different type of heater.
So, why even bother?

But I thought these cord plugs were replacable? If they arent, then i wouldnt have wasted my time putting on a replacement. All I have to say is that its a major pain in the [censored] job to do.
If it is my block heater then im not going to replace it with another block heater. Infact Im not sure what im going to do but -30 starts on the car is rough on it, very rough and even though syn helps, the car wont be happy when not plugged in.
And no way im paying $150 for a oil pan heater from Napa!
The replacement cords are like under $20 but just need to find out which end is on mine.
I have a bad feeling its not just the cord, but im keeping my hopes up that all it is, is the cord cause $20 is a cheap fix.
