Q: What temperature is the stock thermostat and can I go lower?
A: Stock on the 4th generation cars is a 180 degree thermostat. This should be good enough for any but the most seriously modified car. Although, you can go down to 170 or even 160. Hypertech sells a 160 which is supposed to be combined with their performance chips/programmers. And contrary to some opinions, the vehicle will not drop out of closed loop with 160 degree thermostat since that depends primarily on O2 sensor temperature, not engine temperature.

around 200 and 215. You can get a lower stat, but it only confuses the computer. Stay with the stock temp and buy some water wetter or royal purple's purple or blue ice.

Same as most cars, around 95 degrees Celsius or 195 degrees Farenheit.

It should be between 190 & 195 if you get it too low it will not fire the gas properly
