He also said, that the new Behr's are opening a little higher than the labeled 80 degrees. {Several posts on this forum confirm that}. I guess my original question was:
Do thermostats "wear out" over time like the one I had in the car? In other words does the opening temperature decrease a little over time just from the multiple opening and closings on the thermostat "valve"?. Does the valve get weaker?
Is the Wahler considered a better and more calibrated thermostat than the Behr?
