Owner reviews for thermostat

yes the part was OEM from nissan

Thermostat is broken or someone changed non-original thermostat.

Those do not work.

Only working (which is also oem) spare part is Motorad Cold climate zone thermostat 5461-82K.

Other does not work. Tested 10+ thermostat on here skandinavia.

I recently moved on from a 2016 X3 35i (N55) with a little over 100k miles on it. The only things to break on it were the thermostat and a control board for one of the headlight modules. When I replaced the thermostat I did the water pump as a precaution.

Some of the newer Mazda Skyactives have thermostat issues, but it's a minor problem (only symptom is taking longer to warm up) and Mazda extended the warranty on them. It's the only issue I've brought the car to the dealer for on my 21 Mazda 3 without roughly 50k on it.

Your 2013 ford escape is actually built on the same platform as a 2013 cx-5, different engine though. Earlier ford models would actually use Mazdas engines like the escort, focus, and fusion. Mazda and ford had a long partnership that ended around 2013 and since then Mazdas quality and reliability has steadily increased. For the price ranges they are solid cars, I think the mazda3 shines here, it’s pretty competitive and affordable in its class. Also one of the few eco cars that has a real automatic. They don’t have any major issues, my 21 3 has been solid. It needed the thermostat replaced, but Mazda covered me since they have a lengthy extended warranty for that specific part.

Replace with OEM AC Delco only.These are designed to fail in the open position, heed the warning.

Mahle is an OEM supplier and is on stock in Amazon.

Unfortunately the replacement is usually shittier. One thing I noticed about the stant ones is the nose that rides in the guide can pop out and stick open.

The MotoradT25 16psi one worked, but don't trust that company either, motorad aftermarket thermostats are terrible and often run too hot - could be your problem.

If your thermostat is from Nappa and says Motorad on it. Then replace it immediately. They are junk and stick closed.
