Do this when the engine is cool. Use an appropriate container to catch any coolant spillage. Then take the thermostat cover off, take out the old thermostat and clean up any rust or sealant residue. Put the new thermostat in with a new gasket and put the cover back in place. Refill the radiator with coolant and check for leaks.

When in doubt, throw it out. If there is any doubt the thermostat may be bad, just replace it with a new one. If you insist on testing it, you can drop it into a small pot of water and heat it up on the stove. A 195 degree thermostat should open just before the water boils.
The oil pan must be removed.
