Why do I need a higher thermostat for my Chrysler 318?

Also, with a higher temp thermostat, the engine comes up to operating temperature faster. And that saves fuel. jesmed1 July 6, 2016, 2:35am #3 Thanks, Tester.

Just depends how dirty the coolant was. mine runs about 200 solid all the time. 215 is too hot for the winter time, unless it’s loaded down. Check your coolant level. Your thermostat might be starting to stick also. If the cooling system test good then replace your thermostat and flush your cooling system.
