About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to keep your engine running cooler, especially if it's modified or seeing harder use, a lower-temperature thermostat can make a real difference. This Mishimoto racing thermostat is designed to open sooner than a stock unit, allowing coolant to circulate through the system earlier. This helps to manage and maintain lower engine temperatures, which is crucial for performance and longevity.

This particular thermostat activates at 68 degrees Celsius (154 degrees Fahrenheit), which is notably lower than a typical factory thermostat. By promoting greater cooling efficiency, it can help prevent overheating issues, particularly in demanding situations. It's a well-built component that fits a range of vehicles, including popular models like the 1996-2002 Ford Mustang, 1991-2003 Lincoln Town Car, and 1992-2001 Ford Grand Marquis.
