So "This results in lower operating temperatures" is incorrect.
I installed the low temp thermo and my operating temps have remained unchanged.

My experience has been different than yours. I drove for a hour or so yesterday with a combination of city and highway driving. In stop and go traffic my temps (according to the gauge) were slightly lower than with the stock thermostat but my highway temps showed a significant reduction with the needle settling just under the 180 mark, where it would've previously been a few needle widths higher, resting in the middle of the 8. It is my understanding that the actual coolant temperature is a fair bit higher than the indicated temperature- so there is no concern about the temperature being too low to burn off any moisture in the oil.
