    sabi nila, mas matagal ma reach ang ideal running temp; so in a way, higher FC siguro

    ito bro magandang explantion at clear na examples:

    This ideal engine-operating temperature accomplishes several goals: It helps engine oil to lubricate efficiently and to remove harmful deposits. It reduces emissions and gas consumption, and contributes to engine performance.

    Thus, the thermostat has an impact on your engine's health and longevity.

    A failed thermostat will prevent the engine from operating within its ideal temperature range and affect its performance. For example:

    A thermostat stuck opened will cause a continuous flow of coolant, resulting in a lower operating temperature. Since the oil operates below temperature, the condition accelerates parts' wear, reducing engine efficiency and increasing emissions over time.
    On the other hand, a thermostat stuck in the closed position will prevent coolant flow and cause the temperature to steadily rise. If you fail to notice and keep your engine running, in a matter of minutes your engine self-destructs. Literally.

    Either way, your engine will suffer damage. The difference is just in the amount of time it takes.

    I tried this and the ecu kept warming up the engine.( malamig sa bundok) resulting to bad fc. even sa highway na napakainit. lalamig agad makina lol. taas ng fc. anyways bought a new one to replace the modified "open" thermostat.

    there are more bad things na pwede mangyari..

    dont modify!

    if the manufacturer did not think the car needed a thermostat for tropical climate cars, it would have not installed them in our local cars. it would have effected savings in manufacture.

    This is something I can't explain to this radiator guy as he kept suggesting that I remove the thermostat. He said that old cars are better without it. He further explained that should it get stuck in close position, it will cause a lot of damage and unnecessary repairs.

    Another guy, he suggested that I replace the radiator with a bigger one. This in effect will save gas.

    Just leave it as is. Replace if necessary.
