Probably not in the context you had in mind. If the thermostat is constantly open, however, it can cause the water pump to run excessively or even continuously, and that'll cause the pump to wear out faster.
check the fan or the water pump belt it may be broken if not the thermostat may be stuck you may need to replace it
A stuck closed thermostat would make the coolant temperature symbol illuminate.
If the thermostat is broken in the closed position the engine would overheat rapidly. If it was broken in the open position the engine cooling system would not reach normal operating temperature and the heater would produce only warm air. Take the thermostat out and put it in a pan of water on the stove. When the water gets to around 200 deg F, the thermostat should open. If it doesn't it needs replaced. Observe carefully that you have not installed the thermostat upsidedown.
Remove the water supply hose from the top of your 2005 Chevy Cavalier thermostat housing. Remove the thermostat housing retaining bolts. Lift the old thermostat out and drop in the new thermostat.
The thermostat is broken. If it's not heating at all the heater element and/or it's fuse is broken.
water pump, thermostat broken fans, clogged radiator, broken hoses
check thermostat and/or water pump
Water Pump or Thermostat. May have to change water pump to replace thermostat.
water pump or thermostat housing crack
It is oil, and therefore does not mix well with water, but it can eventually be broken down when combined with water for a long period of time, and dissolve into the water.
Yes, all toilet paper is biodegradable; eventually. Most toilet paper eventually dissolves in the water, into smaller pieces, which is then broken down even further, into molecules, and then broken down into atoms.
I'd be suspicious of the thermostat.
