Hello and welcome,
Depends on what you are trying to do.
Few types of block heaters.
1) For coolant. Normally installed in a freeze plug area in the cylinder head keeping the block warm. This would be a bit more complicated.
2) For the oil. Generally a heated dipstick, or a magnet that attaches to the oil pan.
For very cold climates a block heater is recommended but I also know of a few people that run synthetic oil and have no issues with thickening oil.
Depends on how cold it is where your at.
