[QUOTE="meetoo, post: 210345, member: 4025"] :) I was being imprecise so that there would not be more confusion. Didn't want to introduce more item into the discussion then. The radiator thermostat and the fan clutch or fan motor switch are of course separate. You can call them differently but technically they are thermostats with the function to start/stop a certain process when the temp reaches a certain point. If the designed optimum operating temp of the car engine is 90C, then the radiator thermostat would correctly be rated at 88C. It's best to go to realoem and check the correct thermostat temp rating for your particular car. Then there is no guesswork and if you want to install a lower temp rating it up to you. I'm just pointing out the long term effects of running a cold engine. [/QUOTE]
