Pull out the thermostat, noting it's position, and push in the new thermostat with new gasket attached and screw back together. Replace hose and refill coolant.


Where is the thermostat in an Oldsmobile delta royale eightyeight?

Not sure what year you have but on my 1984 its on top of the engine. Under the dome at the end of the radiator hose. There are 2 bolts that have to be removed in order to get to the thermostat. On a 1998 model, follow the top radiator hose to the engine. The hose attaches to an aluminum elbow with a brass slotted screw on top (the slotted screw is loosened to let air out of the cooling system). Remove the two bolts to take off the aluminum elbow and there will be your thermostat.

Because you need to bleed the cooling system. You should have a plastic bleeder screw right beside the radiator cape that you need to remove and let the air out, while filling the radiator. Do this while warm to make sure the thermostat is open.

Where the top radiator hose meets the engine there is a small hemi spherical housing, the thermostat's inside. The brass screw on top of this housing is where you bleed the air from the cooling system after replacing it and refilling the system. Be sure not to overtighten it after you screw it back together or you can snap the top off of it (brass is soft)
