jkg - I am considering the 160 thermostat as well. On another forum I posted a question about it and one response was a little worrisome: "Another thing to consider is that the oil should normally operate around 212F or so. If the oil is kept well below 200F due to low coolant temps, moisture in the oil won't boil off as fast and that could lead to condensation and potential rust in the motor." May want to watch the oil temperature.
