I installed a new 2 row radiator with a 180 stat on my lx. The temperature was running really hot. Sometimes touching the top green slash on the temp gauge.
I tossed the 180 and put in a 160. Just a slight improvement.
Yesterday, i purchased a 3 row radiator. I still have a 160 stat in it. Car runs a little cooler about half way on the temp gauge.
For my motor, thats still rather hot.
In the past, when the motor got a little warm, i would drive down the highway or on a country road and the motor would cool down. That doesnt happen now. The only thing different that i can think of is the coolant. I used the "new" 50/50 premix prestone stuff.
Has anyone had any similar problems like this?
