I'm looking for a 95C* oil thermostat for the filter housing, new, used don't really care as long as it works. I've searched hi and low and cannot find one. If I can't find one here (on this must excellent forum) what did they come in so that I can scrounge the yards?

(01-11-2016, 04:58 PM)Tito Water will evaporate at 95*C. It just takes a little bit longer but there shouldn't be much water in the oil.Thats is correct. Regardless of sump tempreture the oil exiting the crank is in the 230-250* range. Mercedes increased the oil temp to decrease warm up time and reduce pumping loses due to oil viscosity. Modern synthetic oils do a great job of reaching proper viscosity quickly and without such high heat. Anybody have one of these lying around?
Also oil will pass the turbo and head where temperatures exceed 100*C
