Hi guys
Thermostat sticks and drives the temp up to the red zone when warming up.... Then runs ok the rest of the time. Might need a new thermostat. So in my hands I have two brand new thermostats. One is rated at 91 degrees c, 195 F, the other is rated at 82c and 180f... Which one would be better? Should I go the lower temp? Car runs 90% of the time on LPG by the way. EA multipoint 3.9 Cheers Luke

Quick answer: use the hotter one.

That's what I thought... Just checking in case there was some strange reason why it should run at a higher temp. Cheers mate

I just figured if I use a lower viscosity oil, like 10W or 15W, then it'd be better at a lower operating temperature.
