{Chrysler 300} Re: 300G Thermostat



Everybody will have different opinions and I will share mine. I use 160 degree units in all my classic cars.

1. I don't drive them in the winter, so I don't need a lot of heat from the heater.

2. The lower temps are easier on all the cooling system components; radiator, heater core, hoses, and internal engine gaskets.

3. A 160 degree thermostat provides some extra cooling capacity when the car encounters periods of slow traffic or high ambient temps.

Just one person's opinion,

Hi everyone,
What's the recommended thermostat for the 300G ?

I looked in the Service Manual and the 300G Service Manual Supplement and could not find what degree mentioned.

I looked in the parts manual and they have a 160 and a 180 degree.

I looked on RockAuto and they have a 160, 180 and a 195 degree listed.

By the Parts Manual, I would think 180 is correct but I swear someone told me to use a 195.

Bye for now and Spring will soon be here. I had the G out for a ride two times today.
