Yup. Eagles aren't know for overheating if the radiator and cooling system are in good shape and if filled with a 50-50 mix of antifreeze and water. The 258 wants to run at this temperature. Personally, I would not advise a lower temperature thermostat. :eagle:

Fuel economy goes down when running colder.
