My NSX take a bit long to warm up on cold days... so I'm going to replace the thermostat and in the meantime replace the coolant on my next oil change.
My question is... if I get a thermostat 10 degrees lower will I actually benefit from having a cooler running car. Or will the ECU run in loop causing a lost in gas mileage and lessen performance. I know nothing about the ECU or themostat - i read about people lowering the thermostat for better performance and cooling... (a flaw in the design of the NSX?) but if that was the case I think honda engineerers would be fired.
Is everyone running at the middle mark on the temp guage?
my car is running right on the middle at norm temp.
