Detailed Description

Motorad Standard 354-180 is engineered as an OE supplier thermostat using OEM specifications and processes. The copper case and wax compound help the thermostat react promptly as coolant temperature rises and falls, supporting consistent engine temperature regulation. The offset design and air relief valve help promote proper coolant circulation and air management in the cooling system.

Compatible With 180°F thermostat applications across Ford Explorer, Ford Edge, Ford Taurus, Ford Fusion, Lincoln MKT, Lincoln MKX, Mazda CX-9, Mazda 6, Mercury Mariner, and Jaguar S-Type models. This part cross-references FEL-PRO 35480 for the same application. Motorad 354-180 is a practical OE-style replacement when the vehicle calls for a standard 180°F engine coolant thermostat.

What This Thermostat Helps Address

• Engine running hotter than normal due to a thermostat that no longer opens at the correct temperature
• Slow warm-up or unstable operating temperature
• Coolant flow issues caused by a sticking thermostat
• Air trapped in the cooling system after service
• Replacement needs on 180°F OE thermostat applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the original thermostat temperature rating and housing style before installation. This thermostat does not include a gasket or seal, and no installation tool is included. Confirm the bypass dimensions and flange measurements against the original part for proper fitment in Ford, Lincoln, Mazda, Mercury, and Jaguar cooling systems.

For best results, inspect the thermostat housing, sealing surfaces, and coolant condition during service. Proper bleeding of the cooling system helps reduce trapped air and supports stable temperature control after installation.

Quality Assurance

Manufactured to OEM quality materials and safety standards by an OE supplier, this thermostat is built to meet OEM specifications for demanding automotive cooling systems. Motorad Standard focuses on OE-style construction and temperature response for reliable engine coolant regulation.
