Well,
One important note: DON'T RE-USE THE FREAKING ORIGINAL O-RING!
My new thermostat didn't come with an o-ring. The stock one looked ok, so I figured what the heck, it's the weekend (dealer closed), my car is torn apart, lets get this thing back together. The o-ring seemed a little loose, but well, it sealed for a week of driving.
Then I get home from Colorado to find my car is scary low on coolant in the airport parking lot. With the bottle of water I had on me, I limped her home. The new o-ring was much smaller and tighter. The original one must have slipped out on install and was horribly mangled. I can't believe it ever sealed at all.
All fixed now. Half way through this tank its looking very promising for FE benefits. I am tempted to re-fill early just to find out. Plus diesel is now finally below regular at the pump!
