MOPAR Thermostat

The Mopar stats (mfg by Motorad) can be had from Rockauto, and are generally well regarded, if more expensive than generic parts store units.

Pros: generally well regarded

MotoRad Thermostat

  • Overheating:
Rating 4.0

Mine has been chilling little to no problem so far in 20-30° PA

Sometimes going down long hills engine braking will close the thermostat and will warm up to 200, but then opens back up

I replaced it with the motorad thermostat that opens 10° lower

Pros: little to no problem

Mahle Thermostat

  • Slow warm-up:
Rating 5.0

I’ve installed Borg Wagner thermostats and those always failed until I installed a Mahle one which never failed. For some reason any other brand will get stuck open and the engine will never get up to temp.

Pros: Mahle never failed
Cons: Borg Wagner always failed

OEM Mazda Thermostat

I just got this fixed at the dealer on my 21. Its the thermostat. They put in over a million bad ones and don't want to own it with a recall so they sent out a TSB. There's also an extended warranty for all the cars for this part/labor.

Pros: fixed at dealer, extended warranty
Cons: defective part, no recall
Vehicle: Mazda
