Detailed Description

Motorad Standard 762-189 is an engine coolant thermostat engineered to open at 189°F and regulate coolant circulation in OE-style cooling systems. The copper case and wax compound are selected for fast reaction to temperature changes, while the included rubber seal and O-ring design support a proper housing seal during replacement. This thermostat is listed for lower-position and standard applications across Subaru and Mitsubishi platforms, including Subaru Forester, Impreza, Crosstrek, BRZ, Legacy, Outback, XV Crosstrek, and Mitsubishi Outlander, Outlander Sport, Outlander PHEV, Lancer, and RVR. This part cross-references Dorman HELP 57628 and Four Seasons 76289 for the same application.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Engine running cooler or hotter than specified
• Slow warm-up after cold starts
• Temperature fluctuation during stop-and-go driving
• Coolant flow control problems caused by a worn thermostat
• Seal leakage at the thermostat housing during service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the thermostat position, housing style, and 189°F specification before installation. Clean the sealing surfaces thoroughly and replace the seal with the included rubber O-ring. If the application uses an air relief feature, orient the jiggle pin or weep hole at the top during installation to help purge trapped air. Confirm proper coolant fill and bleed procedure after service.
