My stat failed in the open position, I need to pick a replacement. Apparently there's two options 170 or 180,not sure which is correct I think it's 170. I have a few options, which ones are to be avoided? I'm not super worried this cars nearing the scrap yard anyway but It runs for now.





 
It says OE temperature is 170. If it is easy to replace and you don't care about lifetime, just buy one from local parts store.
 
Take your VIN to the dealer. A thermostat is one of the very few things that I'll always head to the dealer for.
 
I’ve used motorad before with no problems get that in oem temp. This is nearing the junkyard no need to get fancy imo

Well it's a 98 so maybe they started upping the temp shortly after
