Does anyone know why most car manufacturers (not just Porsche) set their factory thermostat's at around 190-200F?
Is it so the moisture gets boiled off more readily? If so, does this mean that you need to change your oil even more frequently with a low temp thermostat or that you need to be sure to get your engine all the way up to full temp fairly often?
