Coolants other than Porsche's

[Overdrive]

I figure if they're putting a 160 thermostat on higher peforming cars that are sure to have worse emissions than the little 2.5 Boxster, it can't make that much of a difference for the worse.

I'd rather the car run cooler in general because I don't always get to cruise on the highway, and I don't want it to suffer if it doesn't have to. There's already enough things I can't get to fixing/eliminating quite yet that can knock the car out of commission, this doesn't have to be one of them.

Back in the day, I had a 1987 Camaro that comes with a stock thermostat of 220 degrees F. I installed a 180 degree thermostat and within 1 year the heads were badly carboned up... My lessson learned is to stick with what the manaufacture recommends when it comes to thermostat temperatures.

Just my 2 cents which is free and worth nothing!
