Thermostat

Regulating the temperature of your engine is important, and there are many different parts in your Ford that help with this process. One of these parts is your thermostat. The thermostat is a part of the cooling system that helps to regulate the amount of coolant that gets through to your engine. The thermostat regulates the flow of coolant and lets more or less in depending on what temperature your engine is at. The thermostat will close when your engine is needing to warm up more to run efficiently. The thermostat opens as needed to help cool down the temperature of your engine so it doesn't overheat. During the opening and closing process, if your thermostat becomes stuck, it can be very bad for engine performance. The thermostat will likely wear out over time, but it's important that you keep an eye on it so you can replace it if needed. The replacement thermostat you get should be made from high quality materials, which is why you should invest in an OEM one. Only an OEM thermostat will last a long time and fit your car.
