What is the benefit of a 180-degree thermostat?

A 180-degree thermostat opens at a lower temperature than a stock thermostat, helping your engine reach its optimal operating temperature more quickly. This can lead to improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions, especially in cooler climates or during short trips.

Does this thermostat come with a gasket?

This thermostat (part number 33338S) is sold as the thermostat unit only. It is recommended to purchase a new gasket separately to ensure a proper seal during installation.

How often should I replace my thermostat?

Thermostats don't have a set replacement interval like oil changes, but they are often replaced as part of a cooling system service or if the engine is running too cool or overheating. It's a good idea to inspect it when you replace your coolant or hoses.
