MAHLE TX50282D Engine Coolant Thermostat with Gasket

The MAHLE TX50282D is a precision-engineered engine coolant thermostat designed to regulate your engine's operating temperature for optimal performance, efficiency, and longevity. This thermostat insert maintains constant engine temperature to minimize wear, reduce emissions, and improve fuel economy.

Key Features:

• Opens at 82°C (180°F) to precisely control coolant flow
• Includes gasket/seal for proper installation (indicated by "D" suffix)
• Features maintenance-free wax expansion element for reliable operation
• Manufactured to OE specifications for exact fit and function
• Ensures engine reaches operating temperature quickly and maintains optimal heat range
• Designed for use in passenger cars, light trucks, and commercial vehicles

MAHLE Original thermostats utilize a proven expansion element design where wax expands when heated to move a piston that regulates coolant flow. When temperature drops, a spring returns the piston to its closed position. This thermostat should be replaced during cooling system maintenance or repair work to ensure continued proper engine temperature regulation and prevent overheating or overcooling issues.
