Detailed Description

Motorad 226-195 is an engine coolant thermostat made to OE supplier standards using OEM-quality materials and safety requirements. The 195°F calibration helps maintain proper operating temperature, while the copper case and wax element are engineered for fast reaction as coolant temperature rises and falls. This Standard product line focuses on direct-fit replacement needs for vehicles that require a conventional thermostat design.

Compatible With Cadillac Commercial Chassis, Cadillac Fleetwood, Cadillac DeVille, Cadillac Eldorado, and Cadillac Seville applications listed in the fitment data. This part cross-references Gates 22695 for the same application. Motorad 226-195 is a practical replacement choice when servicing older Cadillac cooling systems that call for a 195°F thermostat.

What It Helps Address

• Engine running too cool or too warm due to thermostat wear
• Delayed coolant flow control during warm-up
• Temperature fluctuation in the cooling system
• Cooling system service on OE-spec Cadillac applications
• Replacement of a thermostat with a 195°F opening point

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the thermostat dimensions, bypass measurements, and 195°F temperature rating before installation. The gasket or seal is not included, and no installation tool is included. Inspect the housing and sealing surfaces carefully, and replace any worn coolant seals during service. Confirm the vehicle application against the fitment list before ordering.
