On a car 50,000 to 100,000 miles.
In a house 5 -10 years.
if you mean the gasket between the thermostat housing and the hose connection bell yes you do but you should use a thermostat to keep the engine at constant operating temperature for which it was designed it will run more efficiently and last longer
I set the thermostat for 70 degrees.
Have you rotated the gas valve knob to "run". Have you turned up the thermostat? Is the pump running? No pump water flow - no heat -- no filtration. Is the filter clean? When was the last time you cleaned the filter? Ken
Should last about 30 minutez
not long, but a while. it can rust.
about 90,000 miles
Just changed this thermostat last night on a WRX (not sti). Just follow your lower rad hose (not very long) until you find the housing. Only two 10 MM bolts to remove.
Should last at least 60-75K miles. Be sure to flush and refill the cooling system when you replace it or the new one will malfunction alot sooner.
I just replaced mine last summer. It is near the water pump, there's a pipe coming off the water pump and it curves down and has 2 bolts and it should be there. It took me a long time to find my thermostat.

the thermostat should have the long part facing down
You need to replace the thermostat, be sure to use the same temp as the factory thermostat.
About 20 minutes
Check with the store that sold you the T-Stat.
The thermostat is located behind the radiator inlet fitting in the housing behind the gasket. Removing and putting the thermostat back in should be done a last resort. This is because it may reduce how well the vehicle cools.
Instantly. If someone is telling you otherwise, they're blowing smoke.
Thermostat is in the housing under the left coil in the housing connected to the radiator hose. Takes about 30 minutes, if that long, to change.
