Installation Guide

  1. Ensure the engine is completely cool before beginning. Disconnect the battery's negative terminal for safety.
  2. Locate the thermostat housing on the engine. It is typically found where the main coolant hose connects to the engine block.
  3. Place a drain pan under the housing to catch any spilled coolant. Loosen the hose clamp and detach the coolant hose.
  4. Unscrew the bolts holding the thermostat housing in place and carefully lift it off, noting the orientation of the old thermostat.
  5. Remove the old thermostat and gasket. Clean both mating surfaces on the engine and the housing to remove all debris.
  6. Install the new thermostat in the same orientation as the old one. The new unit includes an integrated gasket for a secure seal.
  7. Re-position the thermostat housing and tighten the bolts to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications.
  8. Reconnect the coolant hose and secure the clamp, then top off the coolant level in the system.
  9. Reconnect the battery terminal. Start the engine and let it run, checking carefully for any leaks around the thermostat housing.
  10. Monitor the engine temperature gauge to ensure it stays within the normal operating range.

Did not fit right out of box. Had to trim with scissors.
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Good value. A little flimsy but pretty much what I expected. My only real complaint is that out of the box it did not drop right in to my Honda Odyssey. I had to trim the tabs on one end with scissors for it to fit in to the filter housing.

Good Quality, Easy to Install
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Good product, easy to install, but make sure to locate the direction arrow for proper installation. This one didn't have a very clear arrow but figured it out quickly and the install was done in seconds. I recommend this product.
