What It Helps Address

• Engine running cooler or warmer than specified
• Delayed coolant circulation after cold start
• Temperature fluctuation during stop-and-go driving
• Cooling system service requiring a 174°F thermostat
• Air trapped in the cooling system after thermostat replacement

Installation Notes

Verify the required opening temperature, flange dimensions, and bypass measurements before installation. Clean the thermostat housing sealing surfaces thoroughly and confirm the jiggle pin orientation follows the vehicle service procedure. Because no gasket or seal is included, reuse only if serviceable or install the correct separate seal specified for the application. Confirm fitment against the vehicle’s cooling system requirements for Honda Civic and other listed applications before assembly.
