Good discussion. I may opt for this 160 thermo when I have the cooling system flushed after this year's driving season (Oct-ish). But, aren't we forgetting that over 50% of our cooling is coming from the oil in our cars?

Yes, I understand that the oil is also cooled by by our coolant. But the oil takes a LOT of the heat away, too.

Comments?

This Wahler thermo sounds about $100 cheaper than the L&N item? Do I have this right??
