I'm also going to theorize that the OEM ones are fail-safe, which means if they fail, they will at least stick open so the engine can get coolant. If it's not fail-safe, it might stick closed and your car will overheat .Legacy777 wrote:if you've ever replaced the t-stat with one that is not OEM......you'll know what I'm talking about.......They cause issues......the aftermarket ones are not as deep, do not offer the same resistance to temp change as the OEM one....the OEM one opens more.
My car warms up about twice as fast now as it did with the old one, so I'm wondering if my old one was stuck open...
