hey im new here. had to replace the thermostat and the one i got from the part store is 195(i think) instead of 180. noticed the temp was higher than when the original was in it. the old one stuck open and during the time it was stuck open i noticed about a 10% decrease in my fuel mileage! now with the new stat my mileage is back to normal(about 29 m/g) but i don't want to cause problems with the higher temp. i should have made sure the new one was the same as the original but just assumed they would've given me oem part. what do you all think? thanks!!!
