It depends upon the thermostat temperature, but most newer vehicles *do* use a rather "high" temperature thermostat due to emission standards. Sounds like yours is about 200ºF-210ºF...what does that engine call for--what does the local parts store say it should have? Try asking at an O'Reilly's, Checker, Pep-Boys, etc.
