New thermostat or not?
Got a new thermostat on hand. Will be doing a coolant change soon. Wonder if I ought to change the thermostat now or just hang onto it and use it when the time arrives. Have no idea how old the one in the car is - it could even be original. The car stays at a rock solid 82°. This is the SL I"m talking about.

My suggestion:
Don't try to fix what's not broken. ![]() |

Do not change it.

No harm in changing it while the coolant is out. I usually change mine during coolant changes.
