Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s OE thermostat temperature requirement before installation. Some listed applications note that the included seal should be discarded and an additional gasket or seal is required, so confirm the service procedure for the exact vehicle. Clean the housing sealing surfaces thoroughly, inspect the thermostat housing for wear, and orient the jiggle pin or air relief feature as specified by the vehicle service manual.
