Hey everyone! I just picked up an 07 CR-V and realized it doesn’t have an engine block heater. With winter coming up, I want to install one ASAP. Any tips on where to put it? Thanks!

Hey! Installing it is pretty straightforward. You’ll find the block heater port near the engine block. Just look for a freeze plug on the driver’s side. It’s a bit tight in there, but you can do it!

Make sure to use a good sealant when you install it. Otherwise, you might end up with leaks. If you’re unsure, asking a local mechanic can save you time!
