Autopart International 1601-230886 Engine Coolant Thermostat F - 192

The Autopart International 1601-230886 is an OE-type engine coolant thermostat designed to regulate coolant flow and maintain optimal engine operating temperature. This precision-calibrated thermostat opens at 192°F (89°C), which is the OEM-recommended temperature for proper engine performance and longevity.

Key Features:

• 192°F (89°C) opening temperature for precise thermal control
• OE-equivalent design ensures proper fit and function
• Helps maintain optimal fuel efficiency and reduce emissions
• Prevents engine overcooling that can cause increased wear
• Quality-controlled calibration for accurate temperature response

A properly functioning thermostat is essential for engine health. It controls coolant flow through the radiator, allowing the engine to quickly reach and maintain its designed operating temperature. This prevents excess fuel dilution, reduces engine wear, and ensures the heating system performs effectively. The 192°F opening temperature is specifically engineered for modern computer-controlled engines that require precise temperature management for optimal performance.
