The Temperature Navigator: Why Your Thermostat Can Destroy Your Engine
Car Connection Workshop by Nile Jenkins
Episode notes
Cooling System Revival continues-one nugget at a time!
This morning, Motormouth puts the spotlight on one of the most overlooked components in your cooling system : the thermostat, or as I call it, the Temperature Navigator.
It's job is simple but critical-help keep your engine operating at its proper temperature by regulating coolant flow. On many modern engines, normal operating temperature is around 195F, but that little thermostat is certainly not lifetime component.
So what does "lifetime" actually mean when somebody sells you a maintenance-free part?
Would you trust a "lifetime" maintenance-free claim on an 18-wheeler, aircraft, helicopter-or any other machine where failure could have serious consequences?
Neither would I.
