Troubleshooting & FAQ

How do I know if my thermostat is failing?

Common signs of a failing thermostat include engine overheating (stuck closed) or taking too long to reach operating temperature (stuck open). You may also notice erratic temperature gauge readings or coolant leaks around the housing.

What temperature does this thermostat open at?

This thermostat is designed to begin opening at 60°C (140°F), as per OEM specifications, to allow coolant to circulate through the engine.

My engine model is listed, how can I be sure it fits?

While this part fits a wide range of models, we recommend visually comparing your old thermostat to the product images and confirming the part number (66M-12411-01-00) in your engine's service manual. Year splits can be complex, so verification is key.

Does this assembly include a new gasket?

This package contains the thermostat only. Gaskets are often replaced during this job but are not included in this specific package. Please check if you need to source one separately.

Can I test my old thermostat or this new one before installation?

Yes. You can suspend the thermostat in a pot of water with a thermometer. Heat the water and observe the temperature at which the thermostat begins to open. It should start opening around its rated temperature of 60°C (140°F).
