Do not put the lower temp thermostat into an isx.

This is not the right thing to do to one and it masks real problems that the engine may experience in its future.. And the oil will oxidize more quickly, rendering oil change interval to have to take place more often.

The oil in an isx is supposed to be above 220-f when it is worked, to drive oxidation and moisture out of it.

It is a bad idea all around to modify this.. Thinking that you are doing something good.


It also masks any bad injection timing from bad deletes.. it masks excess friction issues, it masks engine abuse, and a whole host of other things that can normally be seen when the right thermostat is used instead.
