I got a new thermostat, but it is not original.
Can I use it?
It fits, but it does not look like the original at all, and it does not have the function that it closes the bypass when it gets warm.
The shop manual says: "If thermostats do not fully open, the water will not be cut off completely to bypass hose, so water will continue to be routed back into engine."
