Of course many people, including me, don't change things like shock absorber and thermostat until they breakdown and that can be even +10 years. But that don't mean that they operating at optimum efficiency. In fact the optimum lifespan of a shock absorber is supposed to be 2 years! You can check on the internet.Tolerances of engine wearing part are designed for specific operating temperatures. Of course operating above or below for short time span is okay and expected like in start up period. But if continuous and LONG RUN your wear rate will be faster.On a cool rainy day, your thermostat would shut if working optimally and as you said, the temp will immediately go up. If not working optimally, the temp will stay slightly low lah....</blockquote>
