Thermostat: Description and Operation
Description

DESCRIPTION

CAUTION: Do not operate an engine without a thermostat, except for servicing or testing.

The same thermostat is used for winter and summer seasons. An engine should not be operated without a thermostat, except for servicing or testing.
Operating without a thermostat causes longer engine warmup time, unreliable warmup performance, increased exhaust emissions and crankcase
condensation that can result in sludge formation.
