Advanced Auto Thermostat
Ok well a few years ago my brother bought his 180 and 160 for his regal. I went in and bought it but im not sure if it is correct. The stocker has a spring at the bottom to where this one does not. Is it the right one? i dont want to try to put it in and run it if it is not since i dont want to screw up my car.
Perhaps a V8 one? I would like to put it in during spring so thats why im asking..

160??? Noooo, you don't want to run a 160. Especially if you live in Indiana. You'll be setting CELs and you'll have next to no heat... Stick with the 180. Also, post a pic so we know exactly what we're looking at. A picture says 1000 words

Don't mean to hijack your thread m8, i am about to do routine maintenance on the lesabre and i was wondering if should put in a 180 T stat....keep in mind that the climate here is very cold at the moment...hate the winters in the "Great Toronto".
Appreciate it guys.

Thats a balanced thermostat. Its quite safe to use, can't be forced closed by a blast of high pressure coolant (when you floor it) and, like drilled, there is always some coolant flow.
