Cold weather kit high temperature

[zachliu]

Anyone got the cold weather kit from Amazon? The Generac ones are over $200. The knockoffs are $100 and less. I got the latter and it's the Amazon's choice. However, it heats up everything to a whopping 200F and maintains the temperature. It's definitely bad right? I wonder what temperature do the real Generac kits produce 🤔

I have a temperature sensor taped on the oil filter heat pad

My local installer did not recommend one on my install , NE Ohio.
Just cycled my gen under load for 30 minutes every 1st of the month , its low 20's F , I use Mobil 1 synthetic oil and no issues for cold weather cranking or start up. YMMV.
