Hello, its time to change thermostat. Everything is stock on engine so, will an aftermarket one, like Mishimoto wich open at 160 will help , or just stay with oem part ? The summer here its hot , if this matters .
Thank you !!

Just use the OEM part. As long as your cooling system is working properly, the engine will reach the same operating temperature, regardless of ambient conditions.

I would guess that your thermostat has a part number on it. If not, you can always call the service/parts department at a Ford dealer.
