Understood but to me it would make sense to have the determined temperature set below the stock stat temperature of 195*.
I have driven many different vehicles in very cold conditions with the coolant temp making big temp swings as the thermostat opens and close which very well could be throwing it back and forth between open and closed loop or closed loop temp could be set lower than the thermostat temp to combat these conditions which could actually mean optimal operating temp is actually lower than the set 195*.
Or I could very well be wrong but I wanted to test it to see even though I doubt I would even be able to notice a difference.
Damn me for being a person who likes to tinker
Yep, no one here likes to tinker...
You have a collection of thermostats already and could have bought a cheap scan tool to provide you with OL information to find your answers.
Rather than tinker in any useful manner, you made a word spaghetti post and since have complained about the valid responses that have attempted to understand your intentions and remedy your ignorance.
