Best Answer

Usually you know it's time to change it when your car runs too hot because the thermostat is stuck closed. To test if a thermostat is bad check the following:

Start to open between 169-176 degrees F(76-80 degrees C)

Fully open at 194 degrees F (90 degrees C)

Valve lift at fully open should be 8.0 (0.31) min.
