Going to replace the radiator and hoses on my 2011 Atima. Which Thermastat will be best for me in So. California? 185° 205°

whoa, according to this video of the 4th Gen... they still use 2 thermostats??? :wtf2:

from the video, the colder one with the jiggle valve goes to the front housing (fsm calls this the thermostat)

the warmer one with just the air hole, goes to the side housing (fsm calls this the water control valve & im guessing it's the shorter one?)

ps: his video shows that the water control valve is mounted backwards though~ i've seen another t-stat video of the Gen 3 & the parts diagram on the FSM says to point the spring end towards the engine block)

:whistle:
