Why 160°?
The 160° thermostat keeps your Ford 6.2L in the ideal operating temperature range — particularly important in Australian summers where ambient water temperatures are higher and engines work harder. Running the correct temperature thermostat protects against:
- Overheating under sustained high load wake sport conditions
- Excessive fuel consumption from running too cold
- Accelerated engine wear from incomplete warm up cycles
- Carbon build up from low temperature operation
Signs your thermostat needs replacing:
- Engine overheating or running hotter than normal
- Engine taking unusually long to reach operating temperature
- Coolant temperature fluctuating erratically
- Thermostat housing removed for any service — replace as a matter of course
- Engine running consistently cooler than normal operating temperature
Pro tip: Always replace your thermostat housing gasket at the same service — the cooling system is already drained making it the perfect time to refresh both components together for a complete sealed cooling system.
