• OE-temperature replacement needs for service repair

Installation Notes

Verify the 180 degree opening specification, bottom by-pass design, and housing dimensions before installation. The notes for select Nissan applications indicate gasket not required and silicone should be used, while other listed vehicles should be matched to the correct sealing method for the cooling system. Clean the thermostat housing and inspect the mating surfaces before assembly.
