Generac 7102 Oil Heater Kit for 9kW-22kW Air-Cooled Standby Generators

Overview

The Generac 7102 Oil Heater Kit helps maintain crankcase oil temperature to support easier starts for air-cooled standby generators built in 2008 or later. The compact design slips directly over the oil filter for a clean, straightforward upgrade that fits within your existing system.

Designed to boost cold-weather readiness, this kit works as a practical upgrade path and pairs well with the Generac Battery Heater Pad (model 7101) for a broader cold-weather solution. If you’re replacing an old cold-weather component, simply remove the old part before installing the new one.
