thermostats and 710 ;)

[hallsie]

88 degree
82 degree
76 degree


You decide!

The one in there was a piece of st and was stuck fully open, this had obviously been changed recently looking at all the crap around the housing.

Im now thinking that when the car was serviced prior to me getting it, it was in fact sent to a noddy!

The dizzy cap being 180 degrees out, the timing all over the place, the air filter blocked, Im now thinking an oil change will also be in order.

Any suggestions for that?
the engine is on 95k and the oil light flickers at low revs, so I was thinking a good semi 20/50

Any thoughts on the above?

Hi Mate..When i replaced my thermostat i had one in it that started opening at around 88 so by the time it was open fully the temperature was already running slightly hotter than needed, The ford one starts to open around 84-85 and is fully open at 88..Probably the one in between..Dont want to burn the sausages!!...Ziga

A good quality oil - stay near to 20w/50 as it works best.

A good oil that I have used is

Valvoline VR1
